2024 Fall Launch Affiliate Training
September 13 - 14, West Des Moines, Iowa

For the first time ever, Goats On The Go® will be training new affiliates in the fall! Join us for a 50% classroom, 50% hands-on Basic Training to be held in West Des Moines and nearby Dallas Center, Iowa. The hands-on portion will include demonstration and practice with portable electric fencing, observation of live goats doing their thing, and practice with low-stress goat handling (including trailer loading).

This event is open to all affiliates, new and old! If you’re an experienced affiliate who has fallen behind on training, this will be a great opportunity to learn new things, share your experience with others, and satisfy your training requirement. The training is free for new affiliates and $300 for non-new affiliates. As always, bring as many representative as you like from your business at no extra charge.
