From the Back Cover
Advance Praise for Goats:
"This book is an excellent resource for all goat owners or prospective goat owners. Ms. Weaver presents an interesting and detailed history of goats, full descriptions of individual breeds and their purposes, and a synopsis of goat medical care. Best of all, she has prepared an extensive list of online sources of more detailed goat information and of goat equipment and books." -Lorrie Boldrick, DVM, coauthor of Pygmy Goats: Management and Veterinary Care and the Illustrated Standard of the Pygmy Goat
"I was blown away with Sue Weaver's new book, Hobby Farm: Goats. I was expecting an ordinary read but found it to be the best small book on goats that I have ever encountered. I can't wait until it is published so I can give them to my customers to ensure they are prepared to take care of their newly purchased goats." -Claudia Gurn, Breeder of Show South African Boer Goats
