	Review: This is a recent book (just published mid 2007) and has great information for anyone raising meat goats and Boer goats. Everything from trimming hooves, vaccinating, marketing, and websites, to how to clip for shows.
	Review: This is one of the first books I bought that was specifically about meat goats, and it's one that has influenced a lot of my thinking. Gail Bowman walks the readers through choices about breeds of meat goats, setting up your operation, ensuring profitability, and basic marketing of the goats. This book would be ideal for someone just getting started in meat goats or an established breeder who would like some tips on profitability and marketing.
	Review: this is the book that was recommended to me when I was thinking about getting some Livestock Guardian dogs. It gives wonderful information on what to do, and what NOT to do when you get your LGD, plus info on the different breeds. It has an LGD puppy aptitude test and lots of fabulous photos.
	Review: this book is written from a British perspective and covers goats other than just Boers. Has some interesting information about the nature of goats, different housing and nutrition systems.
	Review: this book has very in depth information. For the person serious about learning more about goat health and diagnosis of different conditions, this would be a great book for your library.
