Got questions? Get answers! "Way to Goat!" outlines the way that we manage our meat goat herd, which is healthy, productive and profitable. This "PDH" ("pretty darn handy" format) three-ring binder covers the basics of raising meat goats in a cost-effective and care-effective manner. Chapters include:

  1. Budgets and Objectives
  2. Facilities and Fencing
  3. Sustenance: Food, Water, Mineral
  4. Shelter
  5. Safety: Predators and Parasites
  6. Tools and Toys
  7. Health
  8. Selling Slaughter Animals
  9. Breeding
  10. Kidding
  11. Resource List
  12. Glossary and Annual Calendar
Smoke Ridge put "Way to Goat!" together to give our customers the basic information we believe that they need to successfully go through the first year(s) with meat goats, giving new goat producers a simple reference as to what needs to be done, how to do it, and when.

"Way to Goat!" is free to buyers of Smoke Ridge goats. If you're evaluating the business (good for you!) but wish to read and learn more before getting your goats (very good idea!), the book is available for $27.50 delivered. If you buy goats from us in the year or two after you buy the book, you will get a discount on your goat bill, giving you the book's purchase price back. To order the book, please send a check or money order for $27.50 to Smoke Ridge and we'll get the book out to you immediately.

We strongly recommend that meat goat producers subscribe to the Goat Rancher Magazine, which gives producers the latest valuable information about raising and selling meat goats. We are very proud that "Way to Goat!" inspired Goat Rancher to invite Smoke Ridge to create a monthly column for readers—"The Smoke Ridge Diaries" shares handy tips and information of assistance to meat goat producers. "Way to Goat!" is also conveniently available for purchase online at www.goatrancher.com.
