This book is well worth your time and money. It is well written, informative, fun, and factual. We have been raising meat goats for almost 2 years and I learned even more from reading this. It's a great go-to book to have on hand as a refresher. If you're a beginner or someone just interested in finding out if you want to raise goats, this book will really get you started in the right direction. The pictures alone will make you fall in love with the wonderful world of goats!
