Goat Discussion Circle

Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Specialists Katelyn Walley-Stoll and Amy Barkley have organized an engaging and flexible discussion group for new and interested goat farmers. This will be the culminating event to a four-part goat education series conducted last year. The group welcomes attendees regardless of their previous experience with goats and aims to discuss all aspects of incorporating goats as part of a small farm business. The session will cover fundamental topics and provide valuable insights and guidance on the next steps towards achieving participants’ goat-related aspirations. It also acknowledged the importance of fully understanding the commitment involved in goat farming.
