Goat owners, veterinarians, students, and 4-H and FFA
goat-project youths from throughout California will gather Saturday, in UC
Davis' Freeborn Hall for UC Davis Goat Day 2012.
Morning speakers will address a variety of goat health
and management topics. They also will provide updates on current goat research
and other issues important to dairy, meat, fiber and companion-goat owners. The
afternoon will feature demonstrations and illustrated presentations on
cheese-making, health examinations, artificial insemination, feeding and
showmanship, milk-tester training and ultrasound to detect pregnancy.
The event, which will run from 8:15 a.m. to 3 p.m., is

Veterinary Medicine and the California Dairy Herd Improvement Association. A
