Meetings & Other Events
April 28th, 2013, from 11:00 to 4:00 - MDGA Spring General Membership Meeting. At Four Seasons Farm, 18265 Apple Circle in Jordan, MN. Hosts: Laura & Chris Keiser.  Laura and Chris raise Saanen and Nubian dairy goats on 10 acres. In addition to the business meeting and farm tour, they are going to try to involve other members, hoping to have demonstrations of tasks/skills that may be helpful when managing your goats: blood draws, injections, tattoos, disbudding, etc. If there is interest, they may also do a mock show for those unfamiliar with how to exhibit in an official show ring. In addition, there will be a potluck lunch, so attendees are asked to bring a dish to pass and a chair to sit in.
