Description
Complete self-sufficiency may seem out of reach, but for more and more of us, increasing our self-reliance as much as possible is the order of the day. Incorporating dairy goats as the centerpiece of a diversified homestead can be the key to achieving this goal, and Raising Goats Naturally will show you how.
By working with nature, you can raise dairy goats and produce your own milk, cheese, meat, fertilizer, leather, fiber, and soap - all without relying on drugs or following the factory farm model. By observing your own animals closely and educating yourself about their specific needs, you can create an individualized plan for keeping them healthy and maximizing their productivity. This unique, fully-illustrated guide will teach you to help your herd thrive with:
breed-specific descriptions to help you choose the right goats for your goals and lifestyledetailed information on housing, fencing, breeding, health, milking, and nutritioncomplete recipes and instructions for making your own cheese, dairy products, and soap, as well as cooking with goat meat.Packed with personal experiences backed up by expert veterinary advice and scientific studies, Raising Goats Naturally brings together a wealth of practical information on raising goats for the love of it and using their milk and meat to become more self-reliant.

Praise for Ecothrifty and Homegrown and Handmade
I support & endorse this wonderful book, 100%. – Ed Begley, Jr. Actor / Environmentalist
Deborah Niemann has penned the book that will turn homesteading dreamers into doers. From sustainable gardening to animal husbandry, she's got the farm covered. ---Ashley English, author of the Homemade Living book series and the voice behind small-measure.blogspot.com
Deborah and her family were a great inspiration on my own journey from urbanite to homesteader, and over the years I've turned to her often for guidance. Homegrown and Handmade is a wonderful collection of her wisdom, and when it's not propped next to the stove or the milk stand, this approachable reference belongs on the shelf with the homesteading classics. ---Margaret Hathaway, author of The Year of the Goat and Living with Goats
