Contents Include: Introduction - Getting Your Goat - Your Goat's House and Run - Feeding Your Goat - Your Guide to Breeding - Kidding Without Worry - The Kids - Disbudding Kids - Milk-o! - Making Your Own Butter and Cheese - Goat Meat for the Table - Curing Kid Skins - Ailments - In General - A Few Recipes - A Family Man Starts Goat-Keeping. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
