Comments From Readers:

I have been breeding goats for long enough, what could I possibly learn from a book for “beginners”. Boy was I wrong!

I use “Making Money with Goats” as a reference manual. For me personally, it is the ultimate resource guide. If I am unsure on a specific dosage of meds, or which medicine gives the best results for a specific issue, I merely flip the page and the answer is there before my eyes on the pages of this book.

As a breeder, I appreciate the handouts, and provide copies of these for individuals who are either purchasing their 1st goats from me, or those coming for advice. I also recommend to everyone who purchases goats from me to buy this book.

I have also attended Ellie’s marketing seminar. I come from a professional background, and I have always understood the importance of marketability, but Ellie puts it into layman’s terms. She uses real life examples and you actually can “see” her marketing strategies at work. She teaches you to be able to explain in a few short words, how your customers will benefit from what you have to offer. I have used these tips to successfully market my own animals with tremendous results. You will not see marketing in the same light after reading Ellie’s books. When you put her strategies into effect, the results will be all the proof you need!
