Dairy goats are a great choice for the small or backyard dairy farmer. They require a smaller investment than cows and produce milk that is great for making yogurt, cheese, and other products. This book gives you everything you need to know to successfully raise dairy goats, and this thoroughly revised fourth edition includes more information on pygmy goats, updated information on disease diagnosis and treatment, and expanded information on breeding, milking, dairying and cheese making.
Jerry Belanger, the editor and publisher of the US publications, Countryside and Small Stock Journal, has raised goats for more than 50 years.
Sara Thomson Bredesen, a long-time goat raiser, is a Wisconsin licensed cheesemaker, and established one of the state's first farmstead goat cheese plants.
