Upcoming Meetings:
February 9, 2025 - Sunday, February 9, 2025 at 1:00Are you in the middle of kidding season? Or are you still counting the days until your doe is due? Come to this February meeting and learn all the tips and tricks and the ins and outs of kidding from an expert! What can you expect? What to do if things go sideways? What kinds of things do you need to watch out for? Chris Owen has many years of experience and has freshened many hundreds of does. This is a discussion she has led many times and although I am not a newbie, I still learn something helpful each time. Plus don't these goats just love to throw something new at you every year? Come join this discussion, ask questions and share your experiences. We will start with a potluck lunch and then a short meeting followed by this program.
