"Cap"

This is my goat, Captain America - although we really just call him “Cap”! He’s a Boer breed goat - with a stubborn inclination! Raising Cap has been a very different experience than I expected – he’s taught me so many things, including (as clichéd as it is) a more extensive sense of responsibility, a whole lot of patience, and what it truly means to be an FFA member. With this project, I feel that I’ve truly been able to participate in the authentic FFA experience.

Establishing a Routine

Feed: We started with 1 lb two times per day, gradually increasing to 1.5 lb two times per day.

Every day we change his water, and add 1 tsp. ammonium chloride to help prevent urinary calculi.

We clean his pen daily in an effort to keep him healthy and unwanted ailments at bay.

Practice makes perfect!

We spend a minimum of 15 minutes per day getting ready for the show.

We practice bracing, walking with the show chain, and general exercise activities.
