Learn all about raising goats! Previous years, we built kid treatment boxes, tasted all kinds of goat products, learned how to give needles, toured interesting farms, identified pregnancy by ultrasound, did post mortems, and much more. In 2016, we will learn about breeding and reproduction, and show our project goats at Zurich and Seaforth Fairs.
