Brooks County Producers,<\/p>\n

The intention of this post is similar to the previous\u00a0post about feral hog control; we would like to\u00a0gauge the interest y\u2019all as producers would have if\u00a0the Brooks County Cooperative Extension Office were to assist in the development of an agricultural cooperative for meat goats, and maybe other market livestock. Recently one of our\u00a0own Brooks County\u00a0meat goat producers Marilyn Seleska has\u00a0brought up the idea of developing an Ag\u00a0Coop. for Meat goats here in Brooks County and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

The development of this Coop. is dependent on the interest and initiative of present and prospective meat goat growers. Brooks County Cooperative Extension would like to hear from anyone with any level of interest in this topic. Also, Mrs. Seleska has agreed to speak with anyone regarding meat goat production, and\u00a0the possibility of hosting a field day out her place if the interest is there. Here is Mary’s contact information 229-740-1411 or springacres@windstream.net.<\/p>\n
