I wasted hundreds of dollars in the early years, buying so many things from catalogs that sounded like I needed them. The fact is — you don’t need a big cabinet full of goat gadgets and supplements. You don’t need to be dosing your goat with anything weekly or monthly. With good nutrition and proper management, you can have a healthy herd without breaking the bank.Gain confidence that your goats will thrive with proper nutrition and withOUT routine use of chemical dewormers and other drugs.Save money by not buying unneeded supplements, supplies, and equipment.Save time by not searching the Internet and trying to weed through a dozen opinions and outdated information.Enjoy time with your goats knowing what’s normal and what needs attention.Your InstructorDeborah NiemannIn 2002, Deborah and her family moved to 32 acres on a creek in the middle of nowhere to grow their own food organically. With the help of goats, sheep, pigs, and poultry, they produce 100% of their meat, eggs, and dairy products, as well as a large percentage of their vegetables, fruit, and herbs. They sold chickens and turkeys for more than 10 years, and are currently a licensed egg producer in Illinois and sell eggs to a grocery store and through a CSA.Deborah is the author of six books, including Homegrown and Handmade, Ecothrifty, and Raising Goats Naturally, as well as her latest book, Goats Giving Birth.
