Go Get a Goat!

So you're thinking about goats? Maybe you've seen goat yoga videos, goats in sweaters jumping off hay bales, lots of goat selfies and are wondering what all the fuss is about. Learn all about the joys and drama involved with goat ownership including hoof trimming, health maintenance, diet, and a brief overview of home milking (a more in-depth milking class will be offered in late spring). Participants will receive helpful handouts to take home and will get first priority to purchase baby goats this spring. In this class we'll talk about the many attributes of the dairy goat; what makes them an excellent addition to your life as a companion but also as a source of milk! This will be a hands-on discussion so participants should come prepared to practice hoof trimming and spend time in the pasture with the girls, along with having a brief tour of the dairy and milking parlor.

You can expect to get dirty, leave happy, and be ready for your own backyard goat family!

Please note: This class is limited to children age 12 and older. Tickets are non-refundable. The class will be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.
