Description
Goats 101
A practical guide to successfully raising goats
Whether you have a couple of pet wethers or you’re thinking about bringing a few milkers into your life, this class will teach you what you need to know to keep them healthy and happy.
- Do you know what nutrients your goats need?
- Are you worried that your goats will freeze over the winter?
- Have you heard that goats are hard to keep fenced in? (or maybe experienced this already!)
- Do pedigrees confuse you?
- Do you know when you should deworm your goats?
- What’s normal behavior for goats?
In this course, you’ll learn the answers to all of those questions and many more! You’ll learn about bedding, housing, fencing, livestock guardians, normal goat behavior, goat anatomy, goat nutrition, symptoms of a sick goat, how to medicate a goat, how to figure out if parasites are a problem for your goat, when to call the vet, and more. In 7+ hours of lectures and videos, you will learn information that took me more than a decade to learn. I wasted hundreds of dollars in the early years, buying so many things from catalogs that sounded like I needed them. The fact is — you don’t need a big cabinet full of goat gadgets and supplements. You don’t need to be dosing your goat with anything weekly or monthly. With good nutrition and proper management, you can have a healthy herd without breaking the bank.
Gain confidence that your goats will thrive with proper nutrition and withOUT routine use of chemical dewormers and other drugs.
Save money by not buying unneeded supplements, supplies, and equipment.
Save time by not searching the Internet and trying to weed through a dozen opinions and outdated information.
Enjoy time with your goats knowing what’s normal and what needs attention.
Your Instructor
In 2002, Deborah and her family moved to 32 aces on a creek in the middle of nowhere to grow their own food organically. With the help of goats, sheep, pigs, and poultry, they produce 100% of their meat, eggs, and dairy products, as well as a large percentage of their vegetables, fruit, and herbs. Deborah is the author of six books, including Homegrown and Handmade, Ecothrifty, and Raising Goats Naturally, as well as her latest book, Goats Giving Birth. She also teaches sustainable agriculture courses online for the University of Massachusetts – Amherst. She has been teaching Raising Dairy Goats Sustainably since 2013 and Pastured Poultry since 2015.

In case you are questioning yourself … “Will I actually complete this course if I sign up for it?” I want you to know that I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that happens, which is why I’ve added these two bonuses.
BONUS #1: You can opt-in to weekly email reminders for 10 weeks that will encourage you to complete a module every week.
BONUS #2: You can join a private Facebook group created just for Goats 101 students, where you can ask goat questions and get to know other goat owners. I’m in the group regularly posting information and responding to questions. And whenever we have a new group of students join, I’m also reminding you to continue working on the course.
You’ll be sent information about how to join the Facebook group and how to subscribe to the email reminders after you enroll. Both of these bonuses are entirely optional, but I’ve made them available for those who want regular encouragement and reminders to keep working on the course.
Deborah has been helping people raise goats for years through on-farm classes, online groups, published books, and now online classes. Here’s what some have to say …
“These courses, Goats 101 & Copper Deficiency, are so informative. Helps you to listen to your goats and give them what they need. Deborah replies to comments quickly & with ideas that help. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone with goats to enroll and learn.”
– Lisa Cotter, Nova Scotia, Canada
“In 2010, when I first considered getting goats, I was fortunate to find Deborah’s goat group, NigerianDwarf Goats.ning.com. I spent many hours there reading through the archives and learned a lot. Being able to freely ask questions was extremely helpful. Since then, I have joined various facebook groups, but this site is always my go-to site for accurate answers and the best up-to-date information. Deborah is very much abreast on the latest information which is so very important.“
– Glenna R. Bowman, Vancouver, WA
“After having discovered Deborah’s Nigerian dwarf goat forum and purchasing her book, I found myself relying on Deborah as my online goat mentor. When I had a mini-crisis with my goats, Deborah came to my rescue and helped me pull through it with her knowledge and expertise. She has been immeasurably important in my journey with goats.”
