Wanna buy a goat?

It's coming! The 2nd Annual Western Maryland Goat Field Day and Sale will be held Saturday, October 3, 2009, at the Washington County Agricultural Education Center (fairgrounds) near Boonsboro, Maryland.

This is always a fun event, with a morning youth skill-a-thon, testing young farmer's knowledge of dairy, fiber and meat goats.

The skill-a-thon starts at 9 am and the auction bidding starts at 10 am.

Of note this year is Dr. Richard Browning, a research animal scientist from Tennessee State University. Dr. Browning is conducting a multi-year breed evaluation study, comparing Boer, Kiko, and Spanish goats and their reciprocal crosses.
