Author

This book illustrates the author’s successful hands-on experience raising goats on an off-the-grid farm. She shares in-depth information on optimal feeding practices to meet nutritional requirements, how the rumen works, and the downsides to having kids—something I haven’t found in other goat care books.

I liked reading about the experiences of different goat keepers included in the book. I have been fortunate to attend her presentations on goat care and cheesemaking. Having the book as a reference keeps that knowledge close at hand.

From Cheryl's list on keeping your goats healthy.
