Keeping hens in your backyard is a rewarding hobby for a variety of reasons. The eggs are a delectable temptation, they are tastier and more fresh than any eggs that can be purchased in a supermarket, and they are also superior for use in baking. Even though keeping chickens may sound like a delightful hobby, the majority of individuals who are interested in beginning their own flock simply do not know how to get started.

Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.

Everything you need to know about raising goats!
With all of the uncertainty going on in th eworld my family and I have been taking the steps to live a more sustainable life by growing and raising our own food. We already have chickens and now want to add goats but didn't know how to go about it. We wanted to educate ourselves first and this book gave us all the guidance we needed in addition to a few interesting goat stories here and there. It was very comprehensive including what kinds of breeds there are and how to choose what type would be a good fit for us. I think they'll keep us very busy, but we're looking forward to watching them play. Great info- highly recommend!

A fantastic reference book
As someone who has never raised goats, it was great to get this information from someone with lifelong experience. I didn't realize how much I didn't know, and this was eye-opening. I appreciated the well organized structure, taking me through every step and helping me make every decision. Raising Goats had all the information I was looking for and more, and is a reference guide I will be regularly using in the future.
