Red Rooster Homestead Academy

Empowering homesteaders with hands-on knowledge and practical skills. From holistic homestead practices and dairy goat herd management to sustainable farming and DIY projects, our homestead classes provide a beginner's guide to self-sufficiency and beyond.

Welcome to Our Goat Classes!

Are you new to goats or looking to expand your knowledge on goat breeding and kidding? I’m thrilled to offer two pre-recorded classes designed just for you! These classes are a great opportunity to learn everything you need to know about goat care, breeding, and more—all at a reduced price.

 

For a limited time, each class is available at a special rate of $100. Both courses consist of 10 online sessions, each lasting about an hour. If you’d like to take both classes, you can bundle them for $170. Individual sessions are available for $15 each.

 

If you aren’t ready to pull the trigger just yet, these classes will be edited and posted as a part of our new online homesteader classroom! 2025 is going to be a great year all around and will include the launching of our virtual classroom. These first live classes are offered at a deep discount to provide a “Kickstarter” to fund the creation of our Homestead Academy.
