Description
Goats have always had a strong body of followers; simply because they are useful, practical animals. With the growing desire of many people to be as self-sufficient as possible, it is natural that they consider the possibility of goat keeping. A goat is smaller than a cow and, accordingly, eats less food and requires relatively simple accommodations and equipment.
Joan Shields, the author, has been breeding and managing goats for many years. She is a top-level judge and is an acknowledged authority on goats and goatkeeping.
