What Else to Expect
Hosted and facilitated by Ken and Janice Spaulding, who have been raising goats for about 20 years, the two-day event also includes:

  • Presentations by goat experts and information on marketing, nutrition, stocking rates, producing meat and about raising goats, which is becoming an increasingly popular and viable business.

  • Buffet lunches including dishes made with some type of goat product, meat, milk, cheese, etc.
