Storey's Guide to Raising Meat Goats, 2nd Edition: Managing, Breeding, Marketing

Great addition to have on hand for when we get our goats this spring

A great deal of information, reading up on goats.

I bought this book more than a year ago when I was just beginning to acquire some meat goats. I read part of the book then but didn't understand it very well. This year, after my 3 nannies had 7 kids, I went back and read the book in more detail. I am amazed at the amount of information provided and the quality of the advice. I read different chapters multiple times, depending on the current relevant issue that needs to be addressed. I definitely recommend this book.

Great condition, front cover does have permanent marker on it, but I bought it used. That was the only thing that was wrong, but lil bit of rub alcohol on swab cleaned it off. Thank you!

This is the updated version. I have the previous edition and it is my go to source when I want the information. I have relied on it for seven years and it has not disappointed me ever.

The book initially reads like an advertisement or brochure; convincing you as to why meat goats are a good idea. Then the next thing you know you're immersed in so much information about goats. It doesn't claim to know everything or try to be the only book you'll need, as it offers even more resources and references to help you get more information about goats. Really great read!

Very informative. Very detailed. Thorough book. Some of the numbers and stats on the market are a bit outdated, but the most useful information is definitely worth reading.

This book is great! I contemplated after seeing the bad reviews but it was worth the try. Some complained about the degrading of the goat species by the listing of diseases - but those are possibilities - vet consultation alone is $70 it is imaginably profitable to know how to treat it or when to cut ones losses ... I am pursuing studies in Animal Husbandry and plan to establish a commercial farm and I must say the book gives logical/correct methods and solutions - to the diseases highlighted too. Trust me when I say the internet search for practical, truthful and most efficient information on meat goat rearing is a drawn-out, tedious and mostly unsuccessful - so Stay calm and read this book!!
