Goat Mandatory Meeting/Workshop




On Saturday, March 23rd Dr. Boge presented to the crowd "Uh Sorry...your goat can't stay at the Fair" i.e. many of the reasons a goat is sent home. He covered the most common reasons, causes and cures. He also answered many of your questions.

After the workshop, Julie Blodget presented a short powerpoint presentation on the changes for showing at Fair this year. You can view the powerpoint under the FAIR DOCUMENTS tab, along with her reminder notes for leaders. If you have any questions about showing at Fair this year, please let us know.
