Appendix XI contains information on preventing and coping with various errors that can be made by nutritionists and feed mills. Meat Goats, their History, Management and Diseases has been written especially for North Americans whose interest in raising goats for their healthful and delicious meat (chevon) has burgeoned in the past decade. Prior to this time, only a relatively small number of farmers and ranchers in this part of the world raised goats - mostly Angoras in Texas (for mohair) or milk goats (for their especially digestible milk products) - although 'Spanish' or 'brush' goats have long been a presence in the South (particularly in Texas). Since goats are not indigenous to this continent, the authors of this book have discussed the pros and cons of recent imports (such as the Boer and Kiko) as well as the more established 'Spanish' goat. [9 breeds in all have been considered.] The authors have not only set down their opinions and experiences but have cited those of recognized goat experts worldwide.</p>

Think Like a Goat? is told from an 8 year old boy's point of view. The youngster, a somewhat reluctant visitor to the farm of his veterinarian aunt who raises goats and sheep, is told when he acts up - trying out karate kicks too close to a Boer buck's nose, among other misdemeanors - that he'd better learn to think like a goat if he wants to cope on the farm without injuring himself or the animals. Eventually, after a series of incidents, including the appearance of a coyote, the boy learns to observe the body language of a number of animals, which will undoubtedly stand him in good stead in his encounters with human beings as well.
