If there's one thing we as Boer Goat producers love almost as much as our goats, it's the opportunity to get together with like minded folks to network as well as a good solid educational event. Now THIS is one amazing opportunity to do BOTH!

Make plans to attend the ABGA & ABGF Educational Summit July 24-25th in Kansas City. Don't wait! Early bird pricing ends May 1st ($50 off!) In addition to this, MNBGA members can receive an *additional* discount, just send us a message for the discount code! Ticket sales close May 15th.
