Work with nature to raise dairy goats in any yard… Backyard Dairy Goats is a book focusing on raising dairy goats in a way that respects their nature, on any amount of land. Backyard dairying is achievable for anyone. It doesn't have to be a dream that may happen one day in the distant future, it could happen now, and this book will show you how. Topics covered include: •Everything you need to know about goats - their behaviour, how to feed them, handle them, what they need to thrive, and so on. •Natural goat health, how to prevent and fix most issues without a vet. •Learning from observation, and goat behaviour in the wild to provide the right foods for goats to thrive. •A permaculture approach, looking at the whole backyard ecosystem and the many interactions between goats, animals, garden, people, and trees. •Goat dairy as a homemade staple food, for health, survival and self reliance. Recipes included! •Small batch cheesemaking. Backyard Dairy Goats is a practical book to be looked at whenever there is a question about goats, and also a guide that will take the complete beginner from knowing nothing about goats, to finding their first goats, through to being a confident dairy goat owner that can deal with (and prevent) common goat medical issues.
