DHI Training and Information Program
Join the Piedmont Dairy Goat Association on January 9, 2022, at the Rutherford County Livestock Center for a hands-on DHI informational program led by Christine Owen.
Program will cover:
• Choosing your test plan
• Test day basics (weighing, sampling, etc)
• Filling out DHI forms and paperwork
Q & A roundtable will follow the program.
The goal is to help anyone new to DHI testing navigate the complexities of getting started and to trouble shoot any issues that those previously on test may experience.
Due to COVID, we will not have our normal potluck lunch. Club general meeting will start at 1 pm (open to all). DHI program starts at 2 pm and is $10 for non-members, free for PDGA members. Pay via PayPal at PDGAgoats@gmail.com (please note DHI program when paying) or just pay at the meeting.
To join PDGA or renew your membership, go to the website www.pdgagoats.com and download the membership form. You can pay in person, or by PayPal.
For handout planning purposes, we’d appreciate knowing if you are planning on attending. Email Christine Owen SpinningSpiderCreamery@gmail.com or Anita Arnold ranchowellen@yahoo.com for more information or to sign up.
Meeting location is Rutherford County Livestock Center, 318 Big Island Rd, Forest City, NC 28043. Some GPS units only see the address as Rutherfordton instead of Forest City, but either one works.
