UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) — The demand for goats and
goat producers is greater than it
has been in decades. People are
moviqg back to rural areas and
“homesteading” and, they now
have a stronger desire for home
produced food versus items
bought in the store.
In some heavily populated
countries, one or two goats are a
staple for the family’s food pro
duction. Goats don’t require an
expensive stable, a large farming
area, or large amounts of hay, sil
age, or grain usually needed to
maintain dairy cows.
“Dairy Goats,” a non-credit,
nine-lesson course offered
through Penn State’s Department
of Indepedent Learning, discusses
the finer points of raising dairy
goats and their milk production.
Dr. Donald L. Ace, a profession
emeritus and extension specialist
in dairy science, discusses how to
select the best goal for your fami
ly’s needs. When buying a goat
specifically for milk, you should
observe the animal for certain dis
tinctive characteristics:
• The animal should be sleek
and alert, not fat or sluggish.
• The barrel or body cavity
should be long and deep with the
ribs well sprung and open.
• The legs must be straight and
strong with good bones.

Goats
• The udder must show evi
dence of having the capacity to
produce milk, since all the milk
that you withdraw is present in the
udder.
“Dairy Goats” also gives some
guidelines for the feeding of your
dairy goats. Dr. Ace said that
although goats eat most clean
foods, they should not be pur
chased with the intention of feed
ing diem leftovers and weeds.
Goats need a well-balanced diet in
order to produce milk effectively.
They may eat tender shoots of
weeds and coarse grasses, and
fruit and vegetable scraps from the
table, but pastures, top-quality
hay, and silage should provide
their basic diet When fed proper
ly, your goats will produce milk
that can be used for such things as:
• Fluid milk for table use.
• Manufacturing processes that
condense or evaporate milk for
making cheese.
• Ice cream.
• Butter.
• Goat’s milk fudge.

of people, food, fiber and the envi
ronment,” said Beth Moore,
executive director of the
foundation.
“With about 1 percent of the
population actually involved in
agricultural production, fanning is
becoming more and more distant
to the general public,” said Wil
liam H. Ringler, master of the
Pennsylvania State Grange. “We
must work agriculture into our
schools’ curriculum so we can
teach the general public its impor
tance and the impact the farming
industry has on the general
economy.”
The money will be used for
educational material, training of
teachers and promoting agricul
tural awareness.
“We plan to provide hands-on
projects that can be used in
schools and by others to increase
their awareness of agriculture,
from the production of food and
fiber to the importance of main
taining the environment,” Moore
said.
