"Goat Together"


 One of the wonderful things about raising goats in the gentle hills of Tennessee is getting together with other folks who share common experiences and are willing to help their fellow farmers. Production data is critical in making management decisions and is much easier to gather with the help of some friends. Pictured are some folks helping High Meadows get 90 day weights on bucklings. Results are used in culling and breeding plans.

An important part of any "goat together" is the sharing of experience, knowledge and an opinion or two. There is always some teasing and maybe a joke or two which makes the hard work go quickly. Thanks to all the folks for helping out!
