Are you considering the idea of raising goats, but have no idea how to get started? I know how
you feel. I was in that same place several years ago before I got my first goats and for the first
couple of years after getting them. I stumbled through the first few years and gradually figured
things out along the way. Lessons were learned ... some of them learned the hard way. I am hoping to save you a lot of time, energy, heartache, and money by sharing information with
you feel. I was in that same place several years ago before I got my first goats and for the first
couple of years after getting them. I stumbled through the first few years and gradually figured
things out along the way. Lessons were learned ... some of them learned the hard way. I am hoping to save you a lot of time, energy, heartache, and money by sharing information with
you in this book to help you better understand goats. Included in the book is information I learned
by experience, research, and from other people who helped me over the years. I hope you will benefit
from the things I share in this book on your journey with raising goats. No matter how long you
raise goats, they will always be teaching you something new. I hope will find raising and working
with goats as enjoyable as I do. Features of A Comprehensive Guide to Raising
Goats - Essential Book for Beginners:
A Note from the Author, Brenda Rees: I've been raising and loving dairy goats since 2007. My research began in 2006 when I studied and prepared for six months before purchasing my first 3 goats. My herd has ranged in size from 6 goats up to 120 milking does when I owned and operated a Commercial Grade A goat dairy. I downsized a few years ago and for the past several years I've maintained a herd of 30 milking does and several doelings and dry yearlings. Providing fresh goat milk to the customers who come to the farm to pick it up is one of my greatest joys. I know that I am providing a high quality food for infants, children, and adults who otherwise could not drink milk because of allergies. My happy milk customers make all the hard work worth the effort. In addition, the best part of my day is spent with the goats. Spending time with them is like a therapy for me. They bring peace and happiness to my soul.
