Fort Valley State University

In this program, Fort Valley State University and the Georgia Small Ruminant Research and Extension Center work collaboratively to provide extension education, services and research support for species such as new and expanding dairy goat, meat goat and sheep enterprises. Many of these animals are of special interest to small landowners, limited-resource producers or large-scale farmers who need to diversify.

Activities include:

• Youth livestock shows
• Demonstrations and applied on-farm research opportunities
• Advisory services in large and small livestock management, herd health and parasite control
