There is no one-size-fits-all approach to raising goats (or any livestock for that matter). But by working with nature, you can raise dairy goats as the centerpiece of a diversified homestead and produce your own milk, cheese, meat, fertilizer, leather, fiber and soap — all without relying on drugs or following the factory-farm model. By observing your own animals closely and educating yourself about their specific needs, you can create an individualized plan for keeping them healthy and maximizing their productivity. This unique, fully-illustrated guide will teach you to help your herd thrive with:

  • breed-specific descriptions to help you choose the right goats for your goals and lifestyle
  • detailed information on housing, fencing, breeding, health, milking and nutrition
  • recipes and instructions for making your own cheese, dairy products, and soap, as well as cooking with goat meat.

Packed with personal experiences backed up by expert veterinary advice and scientific studies, Raising Goats Naturally brings together a wealth of practical information on raising goats for the love of it and using their milk and meat to become more self-reliant.

Always enjoy anything from the Thrifty homesteader!

I’m excited about the book. I signed up for the online classes when offered a few months ago and am still trying to get through those but I have learned so much already! I just had some does go into season and am hoping I can put the book into good use come this spring!

This is a great read. I've raised goats before, so it was more of a refresher for my family. I would definitely recommend this book for beginners and seasoned goat owners!!

"Adoption Gifts"

I've purchased a few copies of this book. I own one of Antiquity Oaks Coco Chanel's granddaughters, (The Sweet N Sassy Sienna) and will sometimes give a copy of this book to the new buyers of her offspring! I've also found that several of my buyers already own this book prior to adopting a kid and they rave about it. It makes them extra pleased when they learn of their new kids' ancestry. Funny thing... Sienna was my first goat purchase 4 years ago, and at the time I was unaware of the significance of her ancestry. Pleasant surprise! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
