Nigerian Dwarf Goat. Keeping Nigerian Dwarf Goats as Pets. Nigerian Dwarf Goat book for daily care, pros and cons, raising, training, feeding, housing and health.

I found this book very helpful and easy to read

This book is in dire need of an editor. There are numerous bits of good information in it, and if it was condensed and organized better, it would be a very good resource. Instead, the book reads like a series of Facebook posts, and the foundational information is lost among personal stories, anecdotal experiences, and hearsay.Much of the book's information is repeated throughout different sections. Worse, the information that should belong in one section (e.g.: What should I feed my goats?) is scattered throughout the book, and appears in different formats. Sometimes diet appears as hay and pellets, sometimes as something nebulous like a high-protein diet, and sometimes vague advice such as "avoid giving too many extras." Elsewhere, we are advised to supplement the goats' diet with this and that, which seem like extras to me.There is definitely a book's worth of information here, but it needs straightening out. A table for what to feed male and female goats of what age, and how much of each thing to feed them, would be a good start. Winnowing the concrete information (what, where, when, and how) from the stories and anecdotal advice would also be helpful. Lastly, the book is full of spelling and grammatical errors, which should be simple to correct.These issues are a shame, because the author is genuinely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. With the right tweaks, this book could be "the" authority on Nigerian dwarf goats, and could easily be expanded to cover all goats. As it is, I know much more now than I did before reading the book. Unfortunately, the information was so scattered that I'm still not knowledgeable enough to begin raising goats of my own.

There is some good information, but there is too much repetition of all the suggestions. Admittedly, I am a grammar, spelling and punctuation Nazi and reading this book made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Great little book with tons of info. Extremely easy read.

Very clean, and quite thorough in coverage. Answered so many of my questions, and gave insight into areas I’d not thought about.
