Area goat producers to meet in Butler Saturday The Goat Producers organizational meeting for this area of the state will be conducted Saturday, March 8, 10 a.m. at the Choctaw County Community Development Center, formerly East Choctaw School, located at 25225 Alabama Highway 10, east of Butler. Many small farmers in the area raise goats, but marketing them often is a problem. In an effort to help Alabama goat producers, the Alabama A+ Marketing Cooperative is being formed. This cooperative will be establishing a processing plant that will process not only goats, but also sheep and rabbits so that meat products will be readily available for grocery stores. This will help farmers by providing a stable and more profitable market.
Each animal group will have its own group to tailor the cooperative's actions to better suit the needs of its producers. All persons who raise goats or are interested in raising goats are encouraged to attend. Information on the new cooperative will be supplied, as well as discussions on the needs of goat producers. The meeting is free and open to the public.
