"Caprinology" - We are offering our "Caprinology" segment for those of you who missed college, who were non-science majors in college, or who are interested in the "why" behind many management practices. The presentations will give you a condensed version of some basic sciences, aimed specifically for goats, and taught by the actual professors and instructors who teach in the UC Davis Department of Animal Science and School of Veterinary Medicine. Here is your chance to go back to school!
