Meat goat conference May 14-15 in Tenn. When the National Kiko Registry was


formed, the organizers wanted to provide much more than a registry service to Kiko breeders. For long-term viability as a busi- ness, NKR also wanted to provide educa- tional and marketing opportunities for its clients.


Breeders who know and understand their goats and have sufficient marketing op- portunities will be more successful in the long run. Successful clients will insure NKR’s success. To that end, NKR sponsored two major educational events during its inaugural year in 2011: the Heartland Goat Expo in Colum- bus, Kan., and the Corn Country Meat Goat Conference in Corydon, Ind. Both events were billed as all-breed conferences and had several hundred attendees. Topics ranged from parasite management to forages to gen- eral health maintenance to a demonstration of goat meat cookery.


Since that beginning, the NKR has hosted two to three conferences a year. The conferences are still free to the public and open to producers of all breeds of goats. The first conferences were coordinated by the late Dr. Dave Sparks, DVM, of Okla-


homa State University, a founding partner of the NKR. In recent years, the events have been organized by Dr. An Peischel, Phd., and Dr. Fred Brown, DVM.


The next educational conference is scheduled for May 14-15 when the National Kiko Registry returns to Cookeville, Tenn., for the 7th


annual Cumberland Meat Goat
