LOVED IT!!

I wanted to learn about raising goats for a long time.

This book starts with telling what type of goat should I get for myself, then what type of home and food should I get for my goat, then after telling a lot of benefits of good diet for goats, the author talk on how to deal with goats.

Good book man! worth listening :)

Everything you need to know about raising goats!

With all of the uncertainty going on in th eworld my family and I have been taking the steps to live a more sustainable life by growing and raising our own food. We already have chickens and now want to add goats but didn't know how to go about it. We wanted to educate ourselves first and this book gave us all the guidance we needed in addition to a few interesting goat stories here and there. It was very comprehensive including what kinds of breeds there are and how to choose what type would be a good fit for us. I think they'll keep us very busy, but we're looking forward to watching them play. Great info- highly recommend!

What can I say about this book but I now know the road to raising goats are definitely in my future. I always dreamed about having goats but was a little leary about actually doing it. By listening this book I now have the knowledge of raising a Happy herd and even finally convinced my wife this is what we will be doing. Great listening packed with lots of information. Happy listening 💜

A fantastic reference book

As someone who has never raised goats, it was great to get this information from someone with lifelong experience. I didn't realize how much I didn't know, and this was eye-opening. I appreciated the well organized structure, taking me through every step and helping me make every decision. Raising Goats had all the information I was looking for and more, and is a reference guide I will be regularly using in the future.
