Success StoryGoat Getters- Tri-state Homesteading Conference



Goat Getters- Tri-state Homesteading Conference

Author: Regina Utz

Planning Unit: Trimble 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.
