99 | Why the Goat Industry’s Lack of Structure May Be Its Strength

from Goat Wise | Meat Goats, Feeding Goats, Goat Fencing, Livestock Management · host Millie Bradshaw - Animal Scientist, Rancher, Homesteader

For many years, I believed the goat industry needed to look more like the beef industry.  More centralized, more coordinated, and more structured. But after watching how highly efficient systems respond to disruption, I began to see the lack of consolidation in goats differently. In this episode, we talk about flexibility, market timing, grass-finished realities, and why producers have more options than they think if they’re willing to understand their market and design their system intentionally.   Related Episodes: 21 | Seeking Sustainability?
