The GOATCAMP™ Instructors
* The GoatCamp™2018 Intern Program is now accepting applications for a limited number of Internships. Interns receive free tuition in exchange for helping with the work at GoatCamp™. Persons with little to no experience with goats are encouraged to attend as paying students; much of the work of an Intern has to do with the operation of GoatCamp™ and not directly with goats. If you are interested please send your resume to onioncreek@tennesseemeatgoats.com. I'd like to know about your experience with goats and why you'd like to become an Intern. * GoatCamp™2018 is limited to 25 students. The new ranch cannot accommodate additional students. * Classroom instruction alternating with hands-on work with Onion Creek Ranch goats. TUITION PER STUDENT - $400.00 IF POSTMARKED BY 10-1-18 / $425.00 IF POSTMARKED ON OR AFTER 10-2-18 Registration Form ONLINE on the GoatCamp™ page at www.tennesseemeatgoats.com http://www.tennesseemeatgoats.com/GoatCamp/index.html. For additional information, contact Suzanne Gasparotto 512-265-2090 or email me at onioncreek@tennesseemeatgoats.com GOATCAMP™ TESTIMONIAL: My name is Christy Dalros. I attended Goat Camp™ in October 2016. A few weeks ago, I noticed one of my does was not acting like her normal self. She had recently given birth to triplets and had been fine up until then. I check eyes at least weekly and she had good pink membranes prior. When I checked her eyes that day she was at a 4 on the FAMACHA scale. I immediately took a fecal sample and her count was extremely high. I began deworming her but she went down to a 5 on the FAMACHA scale soon after and developed bottle jaw. I have been so worried but I have run fecal samples on her weekly and continued deworming. I started her on daily iron and B-12. I also started giving her all the alfalfa she wanted for the added protein. I am happy to say that today she had no signs of bottle jaw and her eyes were at a 3 on the FAMACHA scale. I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to attend Goat Camp.™ Without your class, I would not have known what to do. I lost more than 10 goats last year by this time and because of the training GoatCamp™ gave me, I am happy to say that ALL of my goats are thriving. I run my own fecal tests, something I would never have known how to do without Goat Camp™, and I refer to your articles and the notes from GoatCamp™ regularly. Thank you so much for the knowledge you shared. You have helped me more than you know. |
