Goat Health and Welfare

By Maggie Sayer.
The demand for tasty, low-fat goat meat is rapidly growing and, compared to other livestock, meat goats are inexpensive to buy, easy to handle, and less labor-intensive. They require less pasture than cattle, and, as browsers, can also share pasture with horses or cows. Furthermore, their gestation period is relatively short, offering a quick return on your initial investment. And the friendly, inquisitive nature of meat goats makes them an enjoyable addition to any farm.
This essential handbook covers every aspect of acquiring, caring for, managing, and marketing meat goats, including:

• Planning for profitability
• Breed selection
• Where to buy
• Understanding goat behavior
• Disease prevention
• Basic health care
• Proper shelter
• Transportation and handling
• Safe breeding
• Business marketing and promotion
• Showing and competition
