Abstract

With limited resources and networking opportunities for dairy goat producers, they have requested assistance from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in developing educational opportunities to assist in fine-tuning their dairy goat management.The results of an industry wide dairy goat producer survey has been summarized and will help educators and industry collaborators determine educational programming areas in the short and long term. Additionally, results will help all audiences better understand the demographics of dairy goat farms, management practices used, and the future of the industry.
