Goats 101 class is full! No future classes are planned at this time. If you are interested in being notified on future classes, please email me. This class is   designed for pet goat owners, and will be taught by Ellen, who runs the rescue, and Dr. Liz Edmunds, of Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital.
Topics will include: living quarters & fencing, maintenance care (including taking vital signs, body condition scoring, hoof trimming, the latest ideas about deworming & fecal testing, and the importance of wellness exams), nutrition & feeding, toxic plants, first aid, and common diseases & ailments (what you can do, and when to call the vet). As this class is designed for pet goat owners, we will not be covering issues specific to breeding/kidding, or milk/meat production. Dr. Edmunds will not be taking questions regarding these issues. There will be some "hands on" sections, where everyone will get to trim hooves, take vital signs and check body condition. The class size will be limited to 24 people, to allow everyone a chance to participate.
The date for the class is Sat. May 9. Class will start at 9:00am, and run until about 1:30. It will be held here at the rescue in Arlington.  The cost of the class is $40 per person, which will include several printed handouts. Participants should bring a chair, a notebook & pen, and a sack lunch. After the session, there will be an opportunity to meet the goats available for adoption.
