Product Description
For 17 years readers have turned to Storey Books for advice on raising animals. Our Modern Way series of six books has sold more than 1,000,000 copies. In an effort to provide readers with the best how-to animal books on the market we are completely updating all six Modern Way titles and reintroducing them as part of our Guide to Raising series. Written by experts, these guides give novice and experienced livestock farmers all they need to know to successfully keep and profit from animals. Each book includes information on selection, housing, space requirements, breeding and birthing techniques, feeding, behavior, and health concerns and remedies for illness. The books also address the business of raising animals -- processing meat, milk, eggs, and more. The authors were chosen not only for their expertise but also for their ability to explain the ins and outs of animal husbandry in an inviting and authoritative manner. Whether readers are ready to start an entire herd or flock or are considering purchasing their first animal, Storey's Guide to Raising series offers vital information; each book is an indispensable reference.

 Very Informative June 19, 2008
Very good and complete information for someone like me who knows nothing about raising dairy goats.
Great book for first time Goat owners! March 29, 2008
This book tells you just about everything you would need to know about raising goats. I highly recommend it!
FOR THE KIDS November 13, 2007
THIS BOOK IS VERY HELPFUL IF YOU ARE CLUELESS ABOUT GOATS LIKE WE WERE WHEN MY DAUGHTER BROUGHT ONE HOME. GREAT LAYOUT AND FULL OF GOOD INFO TO HELP LEARN WHAT TO DO WITH A GOAT AND WHAT NOT TO DO.
 Lots of good information September 29, 2007
A great book for goat beginners-- lots of good, practical information. However, it does not seem geared toward those not pursuing the natural/organic approach to farming/livestock rearing, which we are. We're glad to have this book as a reference. But we are also glad to have a great friend who has been naturally/organically raising dairy goats for three decades as a good, solid resource for our "natural" questions.
great book! September 22, 2007
Good and reliable information. If you are looking for an all around book that accurately covers the bases, than this is it.
