Middle Georgia Goat Producers will sponsor a “Goat Basics”
workshop Jan. 12 at the Houston County Extension Office at 733
Carroll Street in Perry, Ga.

The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end by noon. Optional
afternoon visits to goat farms will provide hands-on training
in giving shots, worming goats and trimming goats’ feet.

The free workshop is open to anyone. The sessions will be geared
for people new to raising goats or just considering getting into
the business.

The sessions will cover fencing, housing, browse, medications and
selecting goats. For more information, call Bill Haas at (478)
