Resources out there are going to be dependent on the scale of goat rearing you plan on doing. What works for 2 goats won't necessarily work for fifty, and what works for fifty goats won't necessarily work for 200.

They're also notoriously difficult animals to get right. Most vets do either cats and dogs, or cows and horses. Goats are an entirely different beast, and really, the best education I had was just doing it, and learning things the hard way.

I'd spent some time prior to farming working with herds in both France and England, which was very informative. If you're able to find someone who's at the scale that you imagine your self to be at, some day, learning from them is likely the best option.

Thanks for the answer. That makes sense, to ask someone doing the same.
