The Commonwealth Goat Club is offering a FREE
presentation about goat milk, this Saturday, May 19, at the Orange County
Extension Office, Orange, Va. Even if you raise meat goats, you still need a
good milk supply to raise healthy kids.
There will be a business meeting at 11 a.m. and a potluck
lunch at noon. The educational program will be 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Dr. Joe Garvin and Sue Garvin will cover all topics
related to goat milk and health. From CAE to zoonotic disease, colostrum, udder
health, milk testing and disease transmission via milk.
The Commonwealth Goat Club (CGC) is the creation of
several dairy goat enthusiasts. The name is drawn from the group’s goal to establish
a club that appeals to the common wealth of enthusiasm, interest and knowledge
that can be gained from the collective experience (and inexperience) of goat
owners. The benefits of membership are quarterly newsletters (The Common
Ground), quarterly meetings on various topics and yahoo! group for
e-communication. For membership information, visit www.commonwealthgoatclub.org.
The Orange County Extension office is located at 146
Madison Road, Suite 102, in Orange, Va. The office is located on the First
Floor of the Sedwick Building across from the McDonalds. Enter the front door
of the building and turn right. Parking is located in the front and side of the
building.
