SUMMARY:Raising and Grazing Goats Academy
DESCRIPTION:Raising and Grazing Goats Academy Will Highlight Using Goats as a Land Management Tool!Goats are nature’s solution to woody plants and undesired vegetation. The last thing that a goat wants to eat is grass! This makes the goat a perfect answer for all of the plants that ranchers struggle with to control; that the cows and sheep don’t like. This plant material is perfect for a group of goats. In addition to solving the invasive species problem an added bonus is the crop of goat kids as a revenue stream for the producer. The weaned kids can be saved as replacement animals\, used for a rent-a-goat land management service or sold for income.Any producer considering raising goats should plan to attend one of these two-day grazing schools\, to be offered June 1-2\, June 8-9\, or June 29-30\, 2026. These two-day schools will be held at the SAVE Farm\, 9680 N 52nd St. Riley\, KS. Registration starts at 9:00 a.m. with Class from 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.There is no cost to attend this grazing school. Lunch will be provided and attendees will be given a 3-ring binder resource guide with information and room to compile and store the business records for the goat business. Pre-registration is needed for planning lunch and handouts. Please provide complete name\, mailing address\, email\, phone number for everyone that is attending. Please pre-register using the QR Code or with Mary Howell\, mary@kglc.org or call/text 785-562-8726.Instructors for this school are Mary Powell and Lora Frick.
