This course is full of lots of factual information presented orally and visually, coupled with illustrative pictures from my own herd and many others to show a variety of situations and setups for dairy goat farming. This course will be primarily discussion-based, coupled with PowerPoint-style presentation. Students are encouraged to talk about their own situations and ask questions about what might work best for them. This class does not feature live goats.

For a more in-depth class on goats, please see the four-week course: Beyond Kidding: Dairy Goats -- Breeding, Birthing, and Milking suggested below. This is an abridged version of that class and briefly touches on the same information.

**I am not a veterinarian and information contained in this course is designed for general informational purposes only. For specific medical advice or in the event of a goat emergency, please consult a veterinarian.**
