From the Homestead: Goats: From Horns to Hooves baixar o livro de graça

You want goats. Maybe you want fresh milk, a few animals to clear your brushy back pasture, or something that will actually be interesting to have around the farm. Goats are all of those things.

They are also escape artists. Social animals that cannot thrive alone. Creatures who will test every fence, learn every latch, and still make you laugh every single day.

This book is for the keeper who wants to get it right from the beginning.

From the Homestead: Goats is written at a fifth-grade reading level for first-time goat keepers, hobby farmers, and rural homeschool families. It covers what you need to know, plan, build, and decide before your first animal arrives — and what it actually takes to live alongside these animals every day.

Most goat books are written for people who already know goats. This one is written for people who do not yet — but who are serious about doing it right.

• Zoning, land planning, and the startup costs most books skim over

• Shelter design, ventilation, and drainage — the three things that keep goats healthy year-round

• Hoof trimming step by step, from tool selection through the full ten-step procedure

• Horn management, disbudding windows, scurs, and what happens when disbudding goes incomplete

• Breed selection by purpose — dairy, meat, fiber, and companion breeds compared side by side

• Daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal task calendars with realistic time estimates

• Fencing: what works, what does not, and why standard barbed wire injures rather than contains

• Herd dynamics, introducing new animals, and meeting goats' social needs

• Record keeping systems that actually get used

• Species compatibility — including the copper toxicity warning every keeper who also has sheep must know

• A complete "Before You Buy" checklist for honest self-assessment before the first purchase

This is the First Edition. A complete Second Edition — covering the full science of feeding and nutrition, health and medical care, mastitis, kidding and false labor, breeding protocols, emergency preparedness, pests and predators, and humane euthanasia — is under development with our veterinary advisory team. A chapter-by-chapter preview of what is coming appears at the back of this book.

If you have been looking for a goat guide that treats you like a capable adult and tells you the truth — about costs, about time, about what goes wrong, and about what makes it worth it — this is that book.

From the Homestead is published by deyoasis. Humane education from our farm to yours. Real animals. Honest advice. Old-fashioned wisdom for the modern homesteader.
