Community and Communication is key to creating a strong environment. We encourage community breeders to communicate with each other through messaging, phone calls, forums, or events.
Learning opportunities are vital to the success of the goat farmer/breeder. Sharing experiences is important because not every situation works across the board. Access to updated information is key.
We Foster an environment where members may trust each other. We feel it begins by being honest and transparent with breeders, and encouraging breeders to share their thoughts and opinions.
