Very hard to get information out of the book. After several inconsistencies and blatant wrong information I fear any information in the book to be accurate at all.Claims that one goat will drink its own body-weight in water daily. Not sure where these figures are coming from but I have 3 goats at 8 months who drink even on the hottest days about a gallon of water (in clean and fresh buckets daily)....if I follow this book I would have to supply my 3 goats a swimming pool daily! 6-8 gallons each or 24 gallons of water (200 pounds of water for 150 pounds of goat each day)
I find one bale of hay lasts me 7-14 days depending on browse available-not one bale per goat per month. The information should be adjusted for the animal having no browse available so new owners have enough hay for the winter!
Nanny goat is not a female goat and a Billy goat is not a male goat-both of these terms are fairy tale terms and terms used by people who do not understand goats-they are not interchangeable with Doe and Buck as the book implies. Anyone who goes to a responsible dairy breeder and asks to buy a nanny goat they will be turned away for not being informed!
No mention of Bio-security or any of the 3 major diseases that are incurable and highly contagious between goats. (Johannes, CL, CAE)
Most of the pictures are not even Nigerian Dwarfs! Claims do not breed does till 60-75% of full grown body-weight but never gives a full size goat's expected body-weight.....
At best this is a good book for a fun read. Please if you are thinking about getting into Nigerian Dwarf goats for milk or anything besides a companion animal please find something more informative and accurate, Stores makes a good guide (though granted no information on specifics for this breed)

Nigerian Dwarf Goats Care edition by Taylor David Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks Reviews
This book is for the rock bottom beginner. The person who doesn't already own goats but rather is day dreaming about having them. I had a hard time getting past the spelling errors which are everywhere! Not the way I would expect a book to be published. Don't waste your money on this one folks.
very easy reading with the information I was looking for. Nice to have a book just for the Nigerians
Thank you
This book told me every thing I wanted to know about getting started I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about this animal
This book was very disappointing! There is a lot of incorrect information in the book. For instance, author seems to believe that Nigerian Dwarf goats and Tennessee fainting goats are the same breed. Which is NOT TRUE!
Here is what the book says "The Nigerian Dwarf Goat as you know this goat is also called the Nigerian Dwarf Goat because of its characteristic 10 second muscle freeze when shocked or surprised. These goats are very special for goat owners because of their characteristic fainting abilities, of course but also for their amazing personalities. To honor these goats, there is a special Nigerian Dwarf Goat Festival that is held in Tennessee each year. The festival has several cultural displays and food stalls and is as large as any typical festival!
This is for people who are considering getting a goat and don't know one end of the goat from the other. This is not for someone who has them to keep as a reference. VERY Basic information which he at times repeats over and over just to add pages. Get "raising goats for dummies" book if you want if you want basic information and you're money will be much better spent. It's rare that I regret buying any book because there's always a useful tidbit of use...there isn't one between these pages for an experienced goat owner.
VERY basic information. I should have known that I wasn't going to get a lot out of it from the title! The author makes reference to ideas but doesn't expand on them. For example, to treat internal parasites, the treatment is..."deworming medications"! Really?!
I would not buy again and, in fact, I will be selling this because I have gotten much better information from "Goats Small Scale Herding for Pleasure and Profit" and "Barnyard in Your Backyard".
As someone who has been seriously into Nigerian Dwarf goats for 12 years, I have the knowledge base which left me to be aghast at the large amount of incorrect information contained in Taylor David’s “Nigerian Dwarf Goats Care. “
Some of the information is incorrect by omission. That is, the author presents a list of attributes as if it were a complete list when in actually, the list is incomplete. Some of these lists were signs of heat in does, differences between Pygmies & Nigerian Dwarfs, Nigerian Dwarf colors and Nigerian Dwarf patterns. Some, alas way too much, of the information was just plain wrong.
This 133 page book contains several blank pages and many nearly blank pages. Much of the information is repeated. No eco award for this booklet which uses heavy padding to give the appearance of a book.
The photographs on the cover and title page both show a horned goat. Leaving horns on a Nigerian Dwarf is a disqualifying fault as they make use of a milking station difficult. While I wouldn’t object to an occasional photo of a horned goat in the body of the book, the cover and title page should show good examples of the breed. The photos inside the book are all of very low resolution; they have the graininess of newspaper photos. None of the photos have captions despite some that beg for one to explain what is happening in it. Many of the photographs showed goats other than Nigerians. Without labeling them as non-Nigerians, this again represents misinformation.
Unlike many books I’ve read where the grammar was so bad that I wondered if they were even seen by an editor, the grammar in this book was pretty good. But that is not enough to raise its grade above that of an F. The author admits to owning just two Nigerian Dwarfs and all the references given are websites. Novice owners who have searched the web a bit should not consider them experts enough to write a book. What’s especially sad about this book is the number of novices who will read it and accept the misinformation as fact.
Very hard to get information out of the book. After several inconsistencies and blatant wrong information I fear any information in the book to be accurate at all.
Claims that one goat will drink its own body-weight in water daily.
