Abstract: Goat production, is one of the fastest growing agricultural production systems in the U.S. This growth has created opportunities for producers, especially the small-scale farmers looking for a profitable alternative enterprise to integrate into their existing production systems, particularly in Missouri and Arkansas. Although the U.S. is not one of the primary producers of goat meat or goat products, it still stands to gain from exploring opportunities of this growing industry
