Customer Reviews

Great book for begginers and all levels of expieriance!

I bought this book and it helped me a lot!(and continues to help me) I based my presentation of Dairy Goat Mastitis on this book and won a gold medal at County Presentation Day, Regional Presentation Day, and was invited to the State presentation day but were un-able to attend! I love this book and couldn't have goats with out it!

A must-have book!

Belanger's book covers dairy goat management from the perspective of the small farmer or homesteader. Most issues of dairy goat husbandry and management are well covered, but admittedly the book is missing out on veterinary information.

This Book rules!!

I found this book to be very helpful in rasing and caring for goats. I recomend this to all you goat lovers.

A great, easy to read book for the beginner

Raising Milk Goats the Modern Way was the perfect introduction to goat care. The author shares his own personal experiences in raising goats. He covers everything from selecting your goat, kidding and the physiology of goats including the structure of the mammary system. It is easy to access information quickly as a reference, but the book is also enjoyable to read from cover to cover because of the author's humorous and candid style.
