So far, 38 goats have been consigned by 9 consignors from 9 states. All but two of the consigned animals are Kiko (or undeclared). In addition, one Boer and one Kiko x Boer have been consigned.
All nominations received by the deadline will be treated the same. It is not necessary to identify specific goats at the time of nomination.
In April, a flock of sheep was brought to the test site to consume early pasture growth and to contaminate the paddocks with anthelmintic-susceptible, infective worm larvae. The sheep have since been removed from the cool season grass paddocks.
Upon arrival and for the first 42 days of the test, the goats will graze cool season grass paddocks, composed predominantly of MaxQ tall fescue and orchardgrass. The rest of the test site will be planted in various annual crops for grazing during the second 42 days of the test.
