The meat goat industry continues to grow each year but many producers still have difficulty making a profit with their goat operations. The annual Corn Country Commercial Meat Goat Conference will tackle that problem this year with a focus on issues that can turn farmers’ red ink into black.
The conference, sponsored by the National Kiko Registry returns to the fairgrounds in Corydon, Ind., October 6-7, 2023 and features some of the top small ruminant professionals in the country, as well as the opportunity to visit with dozens of experienced goat breeders.
This year the conference will be devoted to helping producers make their goat operations, large or small, more profitable. The conference is open to all who are interested in meat goats and there is no registration fee.
No matter if you are new to meat goats, an old hand, or a meat goat wannabe, this team of educators has the experience and the knowledge to help you take your meat goat production to the next level. At the conclusion of the conference, all those present will be treated to a free goat meat lunch.
