2024 Evaluations
The KGBA Evaluation Program is scheduling our trips for this year!
We have a number of interested herds, but they are a bit scattered around the country. We are hoping to rustle up more interest and coordinate a few concentrated areas to send our amazing Evaluator Lisa Lamm to this year! She will also be at the TN, OH and MO shows!
If you’ve considered this program in the past, or are looking for a great way to get your herd a hands-on assessment, now is your chance. If you are already on the list, and know of more people in your area that may help us to schedule a route to your region, let us know!
Please email Ashley Kennedy at kindergoatbreeders@gmail.com
