For this episode, we welcome back Paul Fox of Foxwood Nubians and Megan Tredway-Carter of Lakeshore Nubians, for a deep dive into the Nubian breed. We discuss yesterday, today and tomorrow, and discuss their favorite things related to the beautiful long-eared goats!

Our annual catching up episode with Mr. Craig Koopmann--where we talk about the current state of commercial dairying, what's happening in the Pleasant Grove herd of Alpines and Saanens, and how Craig gets through his "kidding marathon".  

Its that time of year when many of us are looking at our dwindling hay piles and deciding if we have enough of "the good stuff" to make it to the first cutting of 2024.  On this week's Goat Gab, we are thrilled to welcome back Dr. Rocky Lemus to discuss hay quality, testing, and how to make sure your are buying the best hay available.

We are so happy to be back after an unintended break!  On our 127th episode, Cameron and Laura catch up, talk about the end of 2023 and "catch fire" talking about goals for 2024.

This week, Cameron and Laura share their takes on current dairy goat topics, including the 2023 ADGA Convention and Board of Directors meeting.

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.
