Goat Care and Kidding Season Class

Conformation and V-Showing Class 

February 8th 2020 in Myakka, FL

 

If you are like me, it is much easier to learn new things hands-on than by reading a book.  This is why we are offering a hands-on class on goat keeping.  We will cover the basics of goat care as well as get into more advanced aspects of goat keeping with kidding topics. We are also doing a class on conformation and virtual showing.
