Nigerian Dwarf Goat. Keeping Nigerian Dwarf Goats as Pets. Nigerian Dwarf Goat book for daily care, pros and cons, raising, training, feeding, housing and health.

Super informative and easy to read book. Gave a lot of answers to questions we had about our goats.

This is a thin, quick read that’s chock full of info for those new to owning Nigerian Dwarf goats. I’m adding this to our homeschool science curricula.

The was a warehouse of knowledge for me. I highly recommend it! In depth examples of the do and don't things for starting your own herd. With a ton of reference material at the end.

My 11 year old son has read this a couple times. He has Nigerian Dwarf goats and he has learned many beneficial facts. He consults this book often.

Not an in-depth book but a good starter book

This book is in dire need of an editor. There are numerous bits of good information in it, and if it was condensed and organized better, it would be a very good resource. Instead, the book reads like a series of Facebook posts, and the foundational information is lost among personal stories, anecdotal experiences, and hearsay. Much of the book's information is repeated throughout different sections. Worse, the information that should belong in one section (e.g.: What should I feed my goats?) is scattered throughout the book, and appears in different formats. Sometimes diet appears as hay and pellets, sometimes as something nebulous like a high-protein diet, and sometimes vague advice such as "avoid giving too many extras." Elsewhere, we are advised to supplement the goats' diet with this and that, which seem like extras to me. There is definitely a book's worth of information here, but it needs straightening out. A table for what to feed male and female goats of what age, and how much of each thing to feed them, would be a good start. Winnowing the concrete information (what, where, when, and how) from the stories and anecdotal advice would also be helpful. Lastly, the book is full of spelling and grammatical errors, which should be simple to correct. These issues are a shame, because the author is genuinely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. With the right tweaks, this book could be "the" authority on Nigerian dwarf goats, and could easily be expanded to cover all goats. As it is, I know much more now than I did before reading the book. Unfortunately, the information was so scattered that I'm still not knowledgeable enough to begin raising goats of my own.

It helped a lot. The questions I had the book had the answers. I manly was interested about their food and I found out they can eat the hay that I give my horses. Since they are together in the stall I didn’t want to make two different feeds. I buy it again if I lost this one!

Light read, covers most aspects of keeping Dwarf goats.

I found this book very helpful and easy to read
