(Full Color Edition) From award winning goat expert Gianaclis Caldwell and written as a companion to her comprehensive 2017 volume, Holistic Goat Care. For farmers, backyard enthusiasts, and goat aficionados of all ages, The Useful Goat guides you through the myriad ways these wonderful animals help mankind. From beasts bearing burdens to providing nutritious milk and meat; from crafting hides into supple leather to running a successful brush clearing business; and beyond, this book is your one stop to all the gifts provided by nature's most delightful and useful animal: the goat. Gianaclis (gee-on-a-klees) is a multi-award-winning author raised in the wilds of Oregon believing trees were spirits and failing at picking string beans. She writes cheesy (no really) non-fiction on cheesemaking and goats, and hopeful speculative fiction. In her spare time, she guides other old ladies in plies, ronde jambes, and the occasional pirouette. She still talks to trees; sometimes, they answer.
