Shepherd’s Gate visits Hitchcock for educational talk

BY OLIVIA RICHMAN NEWS STAFF WRITER BRIMFIELD — For Massachusetts residents who have always wondered about owning a goat, Shepherd’s Gate Dairy Goat Farm’s goat farming class at Hitchcock Free Academy was the per- fect opportunity to learn more about the benefits and respon- sibilities of owning goats of their own. On Thursday, Jan. 14, Jennifer Poirier, the owner of Shepherd’s Gate, came to Hitchcock Academy with four baby goats. The large crowd learned about housing, milk- ing, kid rearing, feeding, breed- ing, birthing, first aid and health care. They even had a chance to bottle feed goats at the class.
