SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS





Pioneered the goat Extension program in Tennessee, 2000-2002
Organized the goat industry in Tennessee and was instrumental in the formation of the
Tennessee Goat Producers Association.
Organized production sales where "all producers" can market quality animals.
Conducts innumerous seminars, workshops, and conferences throughout the United
States (AL, TN, KY, MS, GA, MN, IL, MO, OH, NM, NC, SC, IN, and MS) and abroad
to educate producers, Extension personnel, veterinarians, and industry representatives on
the best management practices for small ruminants, including gastro-intestinal parasitism
and FAMACHA training, nutrition, genetics, husbandry, health, reproduction and
reproductive management including artificial insemination, and marketing.
Established working relationships with local, state and federal officials; universities; and
EMBRAPA ( the Brazilian’s Agricultural Research Enterprise on behalf of goat
producers.
