  • Deborah’s information sharing

    Deborah’s podcast, courses and articles have been the best comprehensive source of information to help me care for my beloved goats. Deborah shares information in a very candid and thorough manner. She seeks answers she may not have and calls on veterinarians in a number of her podcasts. I am 100% in support of Deborah’s work. It has been a highlight in my goat rearing life. No kidding : ).

  • Great show

    I love this podcast and I learn so much every time I listen! My only complaint is the sound quality of the host. There is so much echo that it is sometimes hard to listen to and understand.
