Note from Jean Koons:
This from my friend Laini of Lazy Lady Farm-
Benjamin Rupchis who has Bearly alpines. Where I got my semen this past fall, is a professor at UC Davis.
A grad student of his has created this survey. He asked if I could help get this out to as many New England goat dairies as I could find
It is circulated now around vermont
I said I would send it to the Maine cheese guild
The survey is mostly questions about how animals are housed. Access to outdoor. And kid raising protocols.
