Meat Goats: Their History, Management & Diseases
by: Mitcham, Stephanie & Mitcham, Allison
Wwritten 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 escpecially 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. B/W photos & illustrations.
