Goat Getters- Tri-state Homesteading Conference
Author: Regina Utz
Planning Unit: Kenton County CES
Major Program: Small Ruminants (includes sheep, goats) and Exotic animals
Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work
Outcome: Initial Outcome
On October 26th, the Agriculture and Natural Resources agent taught a group of producers from Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio about raising sheep and goats. With 24 participants in the class, we talked about raising sheep and goats. People were interested in learning about parasites, treatments for parasites, facilities and fencing, etc. There were many questions asked, and follow-up needed. Since teaching that class I have had multiple people reach out with questions furthering what they learned from that day. This was a small part of a larger program. There were over 75 registered attendees with multiple topics from forestry to marketing to livestock production.
