Did you win your bid Shirlz?
For those other noobs interested, I now own
Goat Husbandry by Mackenzie, and
Natural Goat Care by Coleby.
For my money, Coleby's book wins hands down. It's an excellent book and covers health extensively. I've almost all of it (skipping all the specific ailments). In fact, I wouldn't bother getting Mackenzie's if I had Coleby's unless it was going cheap or I was an avid collector.
Coleby's is newer, 2001, and includes most of Mackenzie's info plus more.
I'm glad I have both as I bought Mackenzies very cheaply, and it means small bits of information and advice are covered by one book that are missed by the other.
The 'natural' of the title doesn't mean the book focuses on alternative health care (although that's mentioned) and free-range ideologies, but rather rearing goats by their natural characteristics and needs.
I would still like a book that covered alternative and free-range ideas more in depth, if it exists.
Coleby mentions,
The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable, so I'll look out for that or something similar.
Thanks for leading me to these books.
