Cashmere Goat Workshops

Springtide Farm is beginning it's sixth year of workshops. The curriculum on April 28 will include all of our basics of goat husbandry such as nutrition, hoof trimming, herd management, parasite control and housing On April 29 we will look at growing, gathering, assessing and processing Cashmere as well as evaluating conformation. April is kidding and combing season, so participants will have a chance to learn how to comb Cashmere and maybe even see a live birth.
