There is a good deal of information about dairy goats online. A quick search of the Web will turn up thousands of dairy goat sites. Just a few are listed here. Remember that perspectives on dairy goats vary by region in the U.S. For example, coccidia is not a problem for adult goats in the cooler climates of the Northeast and Midwest, but can be a problem in the Southeast, where winters are too mild to keep the microorganism in check.

Good Starting Points

The Georgia Dairy Goat Breeders Association is a local ADGA affiliate.

The American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) is the primary national organization for dairy goat breeders.

The Dairy Goat Journal is a very nice monthly.

Langston University is a leading goat research center in the U.S.

The Goat Community Web Ring lists 300+ goat-related sites. A favorite of ours is Jonathan Ballard's "Goats Rule!" site.

Dairy Goat Books from Amazon.com

(The Dairy Goat Journal, cited above, is another source for books on goats.)

The New Goat Handbook is a nice little paperback.

Goat Medicine is co-authored by Dr. Mary Smith, arguably the country's leading authority on the topic. Keep in mind, though, that Dr. Smith is based in New York. If you operate in a different locale, your experience may differ.
