Excellent resource for beginners

I am new to Angora goat raising, and found this book to be full of valuable information on everything from feeding to kid raising. I will go back to this book again and again.

very complete and informative

I am getting an angora in the spring, and this book discusses everything for the angora, feeding, breeding, fleeces,housing, you name it. There were even a few recipes included at the end if you need to cull your herd and eat the meat yourself! As a beginner, I felt I learned a great deal from reading this book and will keep it as a reference for the future.

Good information...albeit a little difficult to stick with

The information is very good for the novice goat owner...just slightly dry. Stick with it, though, because knowledge is everything when starting a new venture with animals.

The Angora Goat,history ,management and diseases

The section on the history of Angora's was very interesting! Any goat or sheep owners or prospective owners could really benefit from this book, plus it is easy to read. Includes info on such a wide range, even includes usesful info on shearing time, guard animals, and herding dogs. Wish I'd had this book when I was starting out in the business.
