Goat School

 

 

I counted this as a day of school for Monkey Man.. but the girls did not attend with us.

Our 4H group put on a “Goat School” taught by Ken & Janice Spaulding. They are famous for teaching all over the world. From here in our backyard, to California, all the way to China.

Well they usually do a 2 day class at their farm, however the cost is quite considerable. They condensed the information and made it kid friendly and presented it to a few 4H members, their families, and local community members that were interested.

 

Monkey Man, has been wanting goats and I’m not so keen on the idea. They are a lot of work, and unless you are going to sell them, or milk them they do not really help pay for themselves per say. He wanted to attend this workshop, and I figured, its knowledge and since when should I deny him knowledge right?

So off we went! He learned everything from feeding, breeding, milking, and how to trim their hooves. He really enjoyed the class, and took away some great information.

 

Here are a few photo’s from the day!
