This is an excellent reference for anyone with goats. It covers all aspects of goat selection, farming and health. Less area is given to topics where you can get lots of inforamation such as breeds. Almost half of the book (minus the chapter on llamas and alpacas)deals with feeding, nutrition (over 50 pages)and health (almost 100 pages). The importance of, interaction of and where to find it naturally are given for almost every nutrient, along with its drawbacks. The experience speaks primarily from an Australian background but is applicable anywhere. The chapter on llamas and alpacas is a good primer. I personally am not attracted to the writing style of the author but this book and it's content are a testament to her knowledge and dedication to the subject.
