owed this book for years 
I have owned this book for years and really like it a lot it was great when I was new to goats and knewn almost nothing. Now 18 years later it is still a great book with lots of info on lots of subjects. Wish she would write a new one that covered some of the new problems we face now.

I enjoy reading this book!!
After reading through the book, I feel motivated to buy some goats. I bought a ranch and was interested in goats, but have never dealt with them. I already have dairy cows and am planning to do cheese processing. This book was extremely helpful at giving knowledge in all areas from the different type of goats to expenses in raising goats. It mixes hard facts and data, like nuitritional contents of certain feed and the needs of a milking goat, to the more human side, like talking with your goats and how to reduce their stress. I think this book is well written in simple language by someone who understands what a novice needs to know to even try goat milking as a farm activity. This is a definite must book for neophytes like me.

An excellent book that I had to own.........
We have been around goats for decades, but have only recently in the past year gone the next step and begun to own Nubian goats for milk, cheese and brush removal purposes. And this is a great book if you are just getting started because it covered everything one needs to know before and after getting a goat or goats.From housing, dairy goat rations, nutritional needs, goat management, choosing dams and sires (females and males), breeding and kidding (birthing), kid care, goat milk, udder care, health care, trouble shooting, and the overall benefits of keeping goats. And a section for those who want to have goats as a business i.e. milk, cheese, meat. And there is a good section on where to buy goats and supplies. We live in the Sierras where we are encouraged to own goats for fire protection, since they are great at keeping brush clearer in high fire areas. And they are such wonderful animals to own and easily become members of the family.
