Get educated and experienced before buying goats

The meat goat industry has all the ‘bones’ in place, a solid foundation with a registration process to improve Boer and Kiko goat genetics. The registration process is thorough, laying the groundwork for identifying goat genetics that provide superior performance. Industry participants see the value of registration as proof positive of superior traits of their meat goats. This solid foundation is the way to grow an industry. 

Small Farm Canada explores goats and their potential on Canadian small farms and homesteads in the May-June 2023 issue of Small Farm Canada magazine.

Cover Crop Grazing

Video: Cover Crop Grazing

The Living Lab–Ontario Cover Crop Grazing project is testing how livestock and cover crops can work together to build healthier soils. By comparing grazed and ungrazed cover crops on a diversified farm, researchers and farmers are measuring soil health, compaction, and crop performance. The goal is to uncover practical ways to extend grazing seasons, add value to crop rotations, and create more resilient soils for the next generation of farmers.
