Customer Reviews

A good book to keep handy when keeping goats.

I bought my first goats about a year ago. 1 Female Nubian and 4 pygmy's 2 female and 2 males. When I asked the breeder that I bought them from what reading material she suggested she insisted that I buy this book. I must say for the price it is defiantly more then worth it. I read it all the way through when I first bought my goats and still turn to it today for quick information on how to handle the common situations that arise with having goats. Great book for the first time owner. Should be on anyone's shelf that is considering buying goats.

A must for goat owners

This is an excellent manual for new owners of goats. Everything is in here from cradle to grave. I have raised goats my entire life and I even learned a couple of things from this wonderful book. While I had some minor disagreements with some things here and there, I felt that the book was 99% accurate in its content. While I don't eat goat meat myself, I am told that the recipes are excellent.

Excellent summary of goat care practices

This is the book that prompted my deep interest in goat care practices. From the beautiful illustrations to the insightful text, it demonstrated clearly how to make sure your goat stays healthy. The section on breeding was particularily comprehensive. I reccomend it to anyone with my kind of devotion to his or her goat!

My favorite information book on goat care.

The New Goat Handbook is only one of many books I've read on caring for goats as pets. This book is by far the best in my opininion because the writer covers all topics in great detail. Many topics are covered more than once as he covers related subjects. It makes for very interesting reading and sucessfully answers even your crazy and small questions. I really recommend this book.If you were only to buy one book on goat keeping, this should be the one.

Great first book

This little book is packed with information, pictures, and drawings that contain all the information a beginning goat-keeper will want to know. It is the ONLY book I bought twice. (Gave my first copy away) If you like giving a guide to first time buyers this is the one
