Goat Information

This page is dedicated to the new comers to the goat world and I will be adding goat info, or links to goat info that has helped me along the way.

The information on this page is only to be used as a guide to finding suppliers or help with questions that you may have. I am only posting them here because these are somethings that have helped me along the way with raising goats. 

BOOKS

Raising Meat Goats for Profit  By Gail Bowman ( This is a very easy to read book with a lot of good information.)

Storey's Guide to Raising Meat Goats By Maggie Sayer ( Very good book for beginners with a large resources section to show you where to get more information if needed.)

SUPPLIES

Hoegger Goat Supply  (I have been  100% satisfied with my dealings with Hoegger , very nice family business.)   www.hoeggergoatsupply.com

Jeffers Livestock Supply   www.jefferslivestock.com

Premier 1 Supplies  ( I use Premier's net fencing for our goats and it works great in the late summer to extend pasture areas, I have never had an animal get through them but you have to keep it electrified and check it often for it to work properly.  I recommend buying the Perma Net it is a wonderful product sets up and tears down quickly I once got 2 rolls of E'stop net and it worked but it is very flimsy and I will make sure I never buy it again, I also used Premier's plans from their website and built two double sided feeders and they have work great with very little wasted hay.                                www.premier1supplies.com
