Watch Out, Kudzu. More Goats May Be Coming To Get You

[deadparrot]

If you've always wanted to learn all you need to know about goats and then some, you're too late. The first-ever Goat Browsing Academy is booked up solid.

Scheduled for May 21-24 at Greenway Farms, it's a hands-on course designed to provide producers and land owners with a basic understanding of proper management of goats to control unwanted vegetation.

For those not in the know, that vegetation starts with a "k" and ends with a "udzu."

The Academy drew widespread interest and applicants from some places you may not have heard of…towns like Marshall, N.C., and Tennessee towns like Petersburg, Rogersville, Bull Gap and Eagleville. Closer to home and more familiar will be registrants from Ringgold, Chickamauga, Hixson, Soddy and Lakesite.
