In "The Complete Guide To Goats," the author KC Kent distills her twenty years of farmyard wisdom into a lively, accessible narrative that welcomes both new keepers and seasoned caretakers. From the moment you bring home your first playful kids, you are invited into a world where goats become partners in a shared adventure. The book explores how to choose breeds suited to your aims-whether you crave the rich creaminess of fresh milk, the lean tenderness of meat, or the silky warmth of fleece. You'll discover how to design shelters and paddocks that respond to weather and terrain, plan rotational grazing that nurtures both land and herd, and craft feeding routines that keep every animal in peak health. Personal stories of triumph and trial offer insight into kidding season's surprises and the quiet rewards of daily care. Step-by-step exercises help you build confidence in milking, fleece processing, and basic health checks, while gentle encouragement inspires you to transform barnyard produce into cheese, soaps, and artisanal yarn. Throughout, a conversational tone weaves heartfelt reflections on the bond between human and goat with clear explanations of the science behind every choice. Whether you imagine a small backyard flock or a thriving homestead enterprise, this spirited companion will equip you with the confidence, creativity, and compassion to nurture a flourishing goat community.
