This book is a must have for any pygmy goat owner...it's concise, easy to follow, and is all about pygmies! Most information available deals with meat or dairy goats. Lorrie Boldrick is a pygmy goat owner, a former NPGA judge and board member, a veterinarian, and she knows her goats!

Helpful hints

This book helped me learn everything I needed to know about my new Pygmy Goats. I've learned how to care for them properly and what kinds of things they love to do. I took the author's advice and built them some things to climb on. I have never seen them happier. I HIGHLY recommend this book for new owners as well as for experienced owners. There is something in there for everyone.

Next Best Thing to a Vet in Person--All purpose guide

This book has been a mainstay on my bookshelf since it was published (actually it rarely is on my bookshelf). I bought it then because I had pygmy goats--but this book is the first I grab with questions for any breed. One of the most helpful part is the vaccination schedule and standard dosing of medications for goats. I now have 4 breeds of dairy goats and it is still my first pick. If I can't have a vet in person this is the handiest back-up. I would appreciate a bit more clinical information on treatment but very helpful on diagnosis. Packed full of useful information for the beginner and the well experienced. There are days I wish I had two copies--one by the phone in the house and one in the barn. You won't regret this purchase.

Excellent book! Information is well presented.

Being an owner of Pygmy goats I have found information as well as veteranarians well-versed in pygmy goat health to be very limited. This book has been a life saver to me on more then one occasion. My dog-earred copy is in my barn, and I refer to it often. I encourage anyone and everyone who owns exotic pygmy goats to purchase a copy of this book. It will pay for itself many times over!
