Are you suffering from FOMO because you're not at the 2023 ADGA Convention? Join us for a "pop up" Goat Gab recording, with some returning guests and also some new friends!  We chat about what has been going on, along with some highlights about the upcoming Spotlight Sale.

No one ever wants to think about the "liability" of raising livestock....but it's important to plan for the unexpected.  Whether you are hit with a tornado, earthquake, barn fire, or unexpected injury, what kind of coverage should you have to protect your farm?  Travis Cockburn joins Laura and Cameron this week to discuss this important aspect of livestock farming.

On this 123rd episode of Goat Gab, we are thrilled to have Ben Rupchis back to talk about a fascinating topic--breeding for production.  Ben's passion for using production data shines in this capitvating interview that will help you understand the "alphabet soup" of PTI, PTA and other important numbers.  

On our 122nd Episode of Goat Gab, Cameron and Laura continue discussing breeding season, with a focus on when and who to breed... with a little off the rails discussion about shows.

It's that time of year.....breeding time!  This week Cameron and Laura discuss making a breeding list and some things to consider when contemplating your breeding program.

This week, Laura and Cameron get to chat with guests who tell their own stories of the 2023 ADGA National Show--Jen Funk and Jason Peckham, Alicia and Melanie Bohren, and Amanda Hanson.  Join us to learn about their unique experiences of attending the national show in Redmond, Oregon.

The smallest breed of dairy goats has certainly made lots of progress since its acceptance into ADGA.....and this week we are joined by Cade and Travis Cockburn of Cade's Lil Farm to discuss the current trends seen in the Nigerian breed.  

On this week's episode of Goat Gab, we welcome Erika and Bill Pierce to visit about their outstanding herd of Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, and how they use their milk to provide food for their community.  

Our episode is worth the wait this week.....we asked the question on the Goat Gab Facebook page "What would you like to ask a judge, if you could?"  This week we welcome Julie Matthys to join Cameron and Laura to talk about things that new and not-so-new exhibitors might like to know.
