On Tuesday, February 24, 4H’ers were treated to another great educational session. The topic of Tuesday’s talk was goat nutrition, and included three presenters from Michigan Agra including 4-H leader Barb Weston, who works for the company. Goat Superintendent Vicki Horsley, Assistant Superintendent Diana Yeager, and leader Kevin Yeager were also on hand to help out with the presentation. The program was full of excellent information about goat health and management, and included visuals to keep the audience engaged.

After the presentation, Vicki reminded 4-H’ers in the goat project about Spring Goat Day up at Michigan State University’s campus. Goat Day is sponsored by the Michigan Dairy Goat Society, but includes valuable information about all types of goats. There will be a potluck lunch, keynote speaker, and fun activities such as a youth skills contest. The charge is $5 per person and $15 per family.
