This book contains a detailed guide to keeping goats, with detailed information on the various breeds of goat and their profitable management. Profusely illustrated and containing all the information necessary for successful goat keeping, this volume is highly recommended for modern farmers, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature.
