Raising Goats: Beginners Guide to Raising Healthy and Happy Goats

I mailed this book to my daughter in Colorado and she said it was full of excellent info on raising her 3 goats (new additions to the family)

Good info in a affordable book

This book is set up much like the chicken book in that the first half details information on various breeds of goats and the second half tells you how to take care of them and where to house them. Good basic information.

If I wanted web info, I’d go online. I wanted a reference book. Want to know how to milk a goat - go to this website. Want to know how to trim their hooves (must be done monthly so important!) - go to that website. Nearly worthless and would have returned it if I hadn’t already written in it. “The Backyard Homestead: Guide to Raising Farm Animals” covered BOTH those topics and more and it was better organized in a few pages devoted to goats. I highly recommend it instead. Conversely, THIS book is supposed to be for beginners, and, Instead of helping me start, it very nearly turned me off raising goats altogether. Look elsewhere for goat help.

Decent book. I would of liked more information.
