Dr. tatiana Louisa Stanton Goat Specialist, Cornell Cooperative Extension

and Farmer

We would like to dedicate this edition of the New England & New York Dairy/Meat Goat and Dairy Sheep Directory to tatiana Luisa Stanton, Goat Specialist with Cornell Cooperative Extension and operator Hawk Hall Meat Goats in Trumansburg, New York. Her modesty in presentation belies her extensive research and practical knowledge in raising and marketing meat goats. She is the back bone of the Empire State Meat Goat Producers‟ Association, co-author of Meat Goat Production Handbook and a popular presenter around the country. She is a gem of a resource we are fortunate to have in the Northeast.

Directory Order Form

The 2008/2009 New England & New York Dairy/Meat Goat and Dairy Sheep Directory is compiled and

updated by the Small Ruminant Dairy Project at the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture. Its purpose is to

help breeders of dairy/meat goats and dairy sheep contact each other and find the services they need. You

may access it for free as a document online at www.uvm.edu/sustainableagriculture/smallrumi. We have

printed some copies for those who are in the listing and requested copies. This year’s directory features 39

producers and 14 service providers in and serving the New England states and New York, plus an index of

breeds and services and a large resource section.

The Small Ruminant Dairy Project at the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture is supported by donations,

gifts and grants. Below we have provided you with an opportunity to support our continued work

If you have any corrections, comments or questions about the directory, contact the UVM Center for

Sustainable Agriculture, 802-656-5459 or sustainableagriculture@uvm.edu.
