Would be good to know which people would recommend from that collection and why?

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

I have the Peter Dunn book which I was given (or, rather loaned until I was finished with it by someone who no longer keeps goats) but do find useful. It's written in layman' terms but a vet who is also a goalkeeper so knows what he's talking about.

I also have All about Goats by Lois Hetherington 3rd edition 1996. Possibly my first port of call is David Harwoods book as it is the most recent.
