Any that have been recommended in the past are added to our book area so it might be worth a browse:

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.
