My research began in 2006 when I studied and prepared for six months before purchasing my first 3 goats. My herd has ranged in size from 6 goats up to 120 milking does when I owned and operated a Commercial Grade A goat dairy. I downsized a few years ago and for the past several years I've maintained a herd of 30 milking does and several doelings and dry yearlings. Providing fresh goat milk to the customers who come to the farm to pick it up is one of my greatest joys. I know that I am providing a high quality food for infants, children, and adults who otherwise could not drink milk because of allergies. My happy milk customers make all the hard work worth the effort. In addition, the best part of my day is spent with the goats. Spending time with them is like a therapy for me. They bring peace and happiness to my soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Rees\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798874463762\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43646222991475,"sku":"9.79887E+12","price":17.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_cf8b0057-8535-4c65-b14c-15dd36296f1b.jpg?v=1755947307","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/a-comprehensive-guide-to-raising-goats-essential-information-for-beginners-9798874463762","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
