Some of the books we recommend are:

Small Ruminant Production Medicine and Management (Sheep and Goats) from Infovets.com - $80. This book comes with a CD as well as veterinary support for one year (renewable).

Life in the Goat Lane by Linda Fink - $7.95. This is an extremely humorous collection of short (3-page) stories and incidents of which all goat "herders" can identify. I really like this book. There are three books in the series, and we are going to buy the other two real soon.

Your Goats – A Kid’s guide to Raising and Showing by Gail Damerow - $14.95 from Storey Books (or Amazon.com See Banner on Right). This book is written for beginners and is easily understandable for 10 year olds and up. An excellent “first book.”

Raising Meat Goats for Profit by Gail Bowman - $19.95 from Bowman Communications Press (or Amazon.com see Banner on Right for a cheaper price). According to the first page (not numbered) in the second book with this name we bought, “Raising Meat Goats for Profit is an enjoyable, no-nonsense tool for new goat raisers, with important, up-dated information for experienced breeders as well.” A “must-have” for those producing meat goats.
