Resources

I'm a resource junkie! When I encounter something I don't know about, need to know about, or just want to learn more about - I typically get on the internet or pick up the phone and find something or someone that has the information I am looking for! I also like to share what I find, which is only fair since someone else has shared it with me.  Below are some of the most useful resources I've found related to goats. If you have something to share with other goat producers, email me and I'll try to post it.

Some of these documents have been edited by me and put into a Word or pdf file for my personal use and what you are seeing is my modified version. I will direct you to originals if possible. Please site the original author if you use their information. And remember, if you copy one person's work it is plagiarism, but if you copy (and cite) lots of people's work - it's research! (I learned that while working on my doctorate!)

SHOWMANSHIP With Thanks to Danny Thompson of Oklahoma!
SHOWING YOUR MARKET GOAT - by Susan Garey, Extension Agent, Animal Science, University of Delaware	JACK & ANITA MAULDIN  - This site has a great deal of useful information. Mr. Mauldin is also great about answering questions!
FETAL DEVELOPMENT - This is an awesome link! It shows the gestational development of a goat fetus	Alabama Cooperative Extension System / Auburn University - This site has links to everything about goats and sheep. Plus, the folks at AU have proven to be most helpful.

CASEOUS LYMPHADENITIS - This is an article from Dr. S. Mobini, Fort Valley State University, Georgia.	American Sheep Industry - This site has great information, mainly about sheep, but also has the Research Journal of Sheep and Goats. It's worth a look!
I'm especially looking for some history on the Boer Goat as a breed and it's entry into the U.S.  - if you have great documented info, please share!
