The first 15 signed up will receive a Boer Goat Book of Standards and a Special work book created for the course.
Those that complete the course will receive a certificate of completion from the Meat Goat Society.  You may take a Judges exam at the conclusion of the course.
This opportunity, on May 29 & 30th, is every breeder's chance to learn how to select and cull their Boer meat goat stock.
This is a hands-on learning experience and is a curse that teaches how to "judge", evaluate stock. Judging is evaluating.
