    Publisher's Note

    For 17 years readers have turned to Storey Books for advice on raising animals. Our Modern Way series of six books has sold more than 1,000,000 copies. In an effort to provide readers with the best how-to animal books on the market we are completely updating all six Modern Way titles and re-introducing them as part of our Guide to Raising series.
    Written by experts, these guides give novice and experienced livestock farmers all they need to know to successfully keep and profit from animals. Each book includes information on selection, housing, space requirements, breeding and birthing techniques, feeding, behavior, and health concerns and remedies for illness. The books also address the business of raising animals - processing meat, milk, eggs, and more. The authors were chosen not only for their expertise but also for their ability to explain the ins and outs of animal husbandry in an inviting and authoritative manner. Whether readers are ready to start an entire herd or flock or are considering purchasing their first animal, Storey's Guide to Raising series offers vital information; each book is an indispensable reference.

    Presents tips on choosing breeds, feeding, housing, milking, dairying, breeding, and health care for milk-producing goats.

    This is an immensely practical guide, covering pretty everything you need to know when planning to start a small goat dairy farm.
    This book covers everything from breed selection, to housing & fencing, and even diseases and problems to watch for. You will even find lovely recipes for various things you can make with goat's milk.
    I bought this book as my partner is planning on starting a small goat dairy farm. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone else looking to do so, or even wishing to brush up on the care of goats.
    I also like that it is a handy smaller size, so the beginner dairy farmer will not find it to difficult to carry his guide around, and have it on hand for awhile.

    It was a very good read, it not only dealt with the dairy side of goat keeping (obviously) but it also had a section about Chevon and other goat "by-products." Also had a lot of recipes, like how to make your own mozzarella and things like that. The author was fairly objective I'd say, only in the health section did his bias show through. The only other part I wish it had dealt with by having at least one other option was the way of disposing of buck kids at birth. Drowning? Why not at least type out 'euthanasia' or raising them for meat? At any rate, I enjoyed the book, it was very comprehensive and covered a lot of things I didn't find in researching on the internet. I'll read and reread it for many years to come.

    I love this book. Great reference. I am just starting out and all this info is great. Well put together, easy to understand. Even has recipes that look great-- I can't wait to try all the different uses for the milk. We go through milk like crazy. With the milk prizes rising, I would encourage anyone to get goats and raise them. Even if you only had a doe you could get it serviced through someone elses buck. Goats are great animals-- I never thought I would say that but you can see why they say they are great for the elderly and the disabled. Very sweet loving animals. This book gives first hand knowledge that is useful for someone like me that wants to get the most out of their goat.I encourage you to have this book on hand... really! I had been looking at this book for awhile. I am so glad I bought this book. If you are uncertain you can go to amazon.com and look inside this particular book. This is one of the 'must haves' when raising dairy goats!

    I wanted a reference guide to have handy when needed. After reading several library books on goats, I chose this title as the one to buy. Complete yet not too technical. I highly recommend this book!
