Goat owners, veterinarians, students, and 4-H and FFA goat-project youths from throughout California will gather Saturday, January 19, in UC Davis' Freeborn Hall for UC Davis Goat Day 2013.

Morning speakers will address a variety of goat health and management topics. The veterinarians and animal science experts also will provide updates on current goat research and other issues important to dairy, meat, fiber and companion-goat owners.

The afternoon will feature demonstrations and illustrated presentations on breeding soundness exam in the buck,  ultrasound for pregnancy detection, understanding how milk is made, DHIA orientation to online tester training, using DHI
records in your herd, and herd health & meat & milk residue avoidance.

The event, which will run from 8:15 a.m. to 3 p.m., is sponsored by the UC Davis Department of Animal Science, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and the California Dairy Herd Improvement Association.
