Who this goat keeping journal is for
This journal is for goat keepers raising dairy goats, meat goats, fiber goats or pet goats. It suits beginners with a pair of wethers and homesteaders with a milking herd and kidding season. Goats need careful attention to diet, hooves, parasites and breeding, and good records keep the herd healthy and productive. It also helps keepers who sell milk, kids or fiber, since breeding, production and costs are recorded clearly.
How to use your goat keeping journal
Fill in a profile for each goat. Record breeding and kidding dates. Log milk production. Track feed. Record health care such as hoof trims and deworming, and note expenses. Check hooves and body condition regularly, record parasite checks and plan kidding with dates written well in advance. Note each goat's personality and herd position too, since it helps explain behavior.
