  1. This is a great video and great speaking points. I have been doing
    everything I can to do a “value added” product production and marketing to
    avoid the gamble of traditional livestock auction and remain sustainable.
    I had never considered doing the marketing style you use at festivals etc.
    I am still trying to figure out how to break into the farmers market in
    Indianapolis and network with other farmers to really build a strong
    network.

  2. As a goat producer I find this video to be excellent with its information.
    I am not a value added producer at this time but plan to be someday.

  3. Although I like the main concepts discussed, my only critique and
    reservation regarding the “value added” approach is the cost of doing
    business goes up exponentially as well. Out of that extra money per pound
    realized, how much is net profit. Overhead and handling costs certainly
    increase as do just about every other cost imaginable.

  4. Mr. Renard Turner should come and present at Tuskegee University’s Goat Day
    if he hasn’t already. Contact Tuskegee University and speek to Dr. Solomon.

  6. Goats are ideally suited to sustainable, even regenerative, ag practices –
    like intensive rotational grazing, or Managed Intensive Grazing (MIG).
    Properly done, fencing costs are minimal (well designed electric, train
    them to it before turning the first ones out in it). Worming can be
    eliminated (worm on arrival on drylot, then ROTATE on browse and taller
    forbs & grasses; and rotate or run with cattle or horses that don’t share
    parasites). The knowledge is out there! Otherwise great info!
