Showing Dairy Goats is Fun & Educationa!

摘要

Most people don't know what they are missing by not having dairy goats. I have raised dairy goats for several years and have been involved at a local level of showing at county fairs and 4-H youth events. Only recently have I started showing at American Dairy Goat Association shows and I'm having a blast. There is a lot of work that goes into getting ready for a dairy goat show, from feeding and good management, to trimming and clipping, to training to walk and stand correctly, to all the work of packing and preparing to spend a day or two off the farm with those favorite animals. But I've found that the whole experience of showing goats is not only fun, it really is educational, and the benefits far outweigh the hard work involved.
