9:00am - Raising Sheep and Goats (sale period expired)
This class is designed as an introductory class for participants wanting to learn more about raising sheep or goats on their own farms/homesteads, and will be tailored to meet the needs and interests of the particpants. The class will involve both classroom/lecture portions and hands-on work with the animals. The hands-on portion will involve activities such as hoof trimming, body condition scoring, breed identification, low-stress handling, etc., depending on the skill level and specific interests of the attendees. This year, we are also planning to offer a more advanced track featuring more in-depth topics for participants who already have their own sheep and goats.
