This is available to members and is free to attend but please register your place by phoning 0845 4582711 or email lauradickinson@rabdf.co.uk. This information is taken from their website: "Opportunities and realities of the commercial goat farming sector will come under the microscope at a farm walk to be staged by the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers (RABDF) at Childhay Manor, Dorset by kind permission of Tim Frost. "The prospects for this fast growing £50m market for dairy goat products will be explored, along with a comprehensive discussion on technical, management and marketing aspects of goat farming, from nutrition and kid rearing to milk costings and the future marketplace. "Host, Tim Frost and his team will also lead a guided tour around their enterprise comprising 1200 milking goats plus youngstock. "RABDF chief executive, Nick Everington comments: “We are aware that the dairy goat product sector has increased by 20% year on year since 1997, and farmers are responding to that burgeoning demand by establishing large scale commercial enterprises ranging from between 300 and 1,500 milking goats. This open day is designed to provide information on a broad spectrum of issues to help all farmers in their decision making, whether they are prospective or existing dairy goat producers.” |
