How do I know my goat is pregnant? What should I have on hand before my goat gives birth? How do I bottle feed newborn kids? What if something goes wrong?

There are many questions goat owners ask when it comes to breeding, birthing, and milking dairy goats. What is normal? Is this goat pregnant? How do I know when to assist a birth? What do I do with all this milk? Dairy Goat Reproduction answers these questions and more. With nearly 300 pages covering information from nutrition to parturition to troubleshooting, along with recipes, this book is perfect for new and seasoned goat owners alike.  Interwoven through the chapters are stories from the author’s own kidding stall, educational pictures, and tips and tricks. This book will walk you through the process of breeding dairy goats from the planning stage through caring for the kids and making delicious food with ingredients that come from your own back yard. This is a physical paperback book that you can display on a shelf, take to the kitchen to make a recipe, or bring to the barn as a reference!
