Rating: - Solid and Informative
This book is so well written that I just took it for granted as the way all livestock books must be done. I mean, it goes into detail about all aspects of raising goats including how to feed them, kid them out and market them. I have nearly worn it out. Then that new one came out and I thought it would be as good but it was terrible. Stick with this one folks!

Rating: - Great for beginners & experienced breeders!
This book covers all aspects of raising meat goats and is very helpful even for the experienced goat breeder. Though most people think of Boer goats when they think of meat goats, Bowman does touch on the other breeds such as Kiko & Myotonics, though only briefly. The basic care and concept is the same no matter what the breed.

Rating: - Informative
This is an informative book, but not as detailed as I expected. It comes with tons of recipes, and they sound good!! I was really looking for some type of vaccination/ maintenance schedule, but none is available. But besides that, it's informative about feed and disease prevention/ cure.

Rating: - not somali
This book was not written by a Somali. "Goat meats, fish frogs, man-eating alligators" ... "All things not Somali."

Other than that, I guess it's not bad if you are looking to raise up a tasty goat. The way my family eats it- put on a bathtub of hot oil, to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then throw the goat in, head first; stomp on it with snowshoes until tender and soupy. Pour over table and serve hot with a side of baby tiger.

Rating: - Outstanding reference guide
Wonderful book with in depth references on all areas of meat goat production. Just starting out, this book is invaluable.
