Forages For Goats Summer Field Day

Join us at Boers Inc. Meat Goat Farm owned and operated by the Scarpitti Family located at 4395 Richland Rd. N.E. in the scenic rural community of Pleasantville, Fairfield County. This small farm operation is home to a registered seedstock Boer Goat herd comprised of sixty does, bucks and young stock. Mark Scarpitti has developed a holistic grazing system utilizing diverse types of forages as a management tool to reduce internal parasites and enhance animal performance. This holistic system incorporates cool and warm season forages containing moderately high levels of condensed tannins. You will not want to miss this field event which features walking tours of grazing paddocks, barbecue for lunch and several presentations relating to designing a holistic system which is economically viable for Meat Goat enterprises.
