Description

Hi, friend!


 


Today I’ll be reporting in on the 2024 kidding season for our commercial meat goat herd.  I’ve been crunching the numbers and I’m going to share them with you, along with how they’re calculated and why we do it the way we do.  I’m also giving quite a bit of detail on our management decisions, production goals, and lots of explanations on terminology related to livestock.


 


All the Best!


Millie
