This best-selling handbook is packed with detailed information on housing, feeding, and fencing dairy goats. It's been the trusted resource on the topic for farmers and homesteaders since it was originally published in 1975, and the new edition - completely updated and redesigned - makes Storey's Guide to Raising Dairy Goats more comprehensive and accessible than ever. In-depth sections explain every aspect of milking, including necessary equipment, proper hand-milking techniques, and handling and storing the milk. New color illustrations show each stage of kidding, and substantial chapters on dairy goat health and breeding include the most up-to-date research and practices.

For the thousands of small-scale farms and backyard homesteaders who keep dairy goats, Storey's Guide to Raising Diary Goats is the go-to reference for learning how to house, feed, milk, breed, and raise healthy and productive goats.
