🚨 When to "Call the Vet Now" for Your Goat


Hello Reader,

Is your goat just “a little off”? It might be more serious than it seems.

In this week’s For the Love of Goats episode, I share real-life stories and critical signs that every goat owner needs to recognize—before it’s too late. From refusing to eat to struggling to stand, screaming, or grinding teeth—these are not just quirks. They’re emergencies.

​Learn which symptoms can’t wait and why fast action can save your goat’s life.

Happy Goatherding!

We dive into the world of goat packing: how it works, why goats love it, and what goat owners need to know about accessing public lands.

In response to my email last week, several people sent me messages suggesting that I write a book. It's becoming clear to me that I don't promote myself and my products nearly enough!
