Course Description

Goat Farming 101: Housing, Feeding, and Daily Care is a practical professional course in farming that helps you build confident routines for raising healthy goats. Whether you are starting a small homestead herd or improving an existing setup, this ebook format course focuses on day to day decisions that affect growth, comfort, and productivity.

You will learn how to set clear goals for your herd and choose the right goats for your climate, space, and purpose, then translate those choices into smart shelter design with bedding and weather protection that keeps animals dry and reduces disease risk. You will also understand how to plan fencing, gates, and predator safe pens that support safe movement, prevent escapes, and protect your investment.

Feeding is covered in a way you can apply immediately, connecting forage, concentrates, and clean water to body condition, milk production, and overall resilience. You will see how minerals and vitamins fit into a balanced ration and how to prevent common deficiencies that can quietly limit performance. The course also strengthens your management skills with daily observation and routine health checks that help you spot problems early and respond calmly.

As you progress, you will gain a clear approach to hoof care and mobility, including trimming practices, the right tools, and scheduling that fits real farm life. You will also learn parasite control basics using pasture awareness, FAMACHA style monitoring, and targeted deworming principles that support long term herd health. Safe handling, restraint, and stress reduction are woven throughout so your goats stay easier to manage and you stay safer.

Finally, you will pull everything together into weekly and monthly care routines built as a simple repeatable system, making goat husbandry more consistent and less overwhelming.
