Looking for a helping hand? Have questions about your goats, herd management, or a situation you are navigating? Consulting services through The Giving Goat are available in two formats, allowing goat owners to choose the option that best fits their needs.

Community Consulting

Social Media & Email | Pay What You Can

Community Consulting requests are generally answered in the order they are received. Because there is no reserved appointment time, response times may vary depending on the current volume of requests and my availability. I will always do my best to respond as soon as I reasonably can.

There is no required fee to ask for help. If paying for consulting is not within your means, you are still welcome to reach out. I believe in goatkeeping, not gatekeeping, and accessible support for goat owners has always been an important part of The Giving Goat.

For those who are able and would like to support this work, optional contributions can be made using the donation buttons or payment link below. These contributions help support the time and resources that go into providing accessible consulting and educational resources to the goat community. The contact form for Community Consulting is at the bottom of this page.

No required fee. No paywall. Just help when you need it.

Scheduled Phone Consulting

Phone consultations are ideal for discussing broader herd management topics, working through more involved cases, or simply having dedicated time to talk through your questions without trying to fit everything into messages or emails.

Unlike Community Consulting, phone consultations involve a set fee because you are reserving a specific block of my time. Your call is scheduled specifically for you, giving us dedicated time and my full attention to discuss your questions or concerns. Calls are honored as scheduled barring an unexpected emergency or unavoidable conflict.

I have intentionally kept this option reasonably priced while recognizing the additional time and availability involved in providing scheduled, one-on-one consultations.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a vet, nor am I a licensed professional. I am in no way a “goat expert” and my opinions are only that of personal experiences, and my insights shared are not medical treatment suggestions, care suggestions, or any directions for raising goats at all. I am simply sharing my own personal opinions. Any and all changes to your goats’ health regimen, care, etc. should be approved by a veterinary professional or licensed professional. I also believe that every goat owner has their own way of doing things, so just as my opinions are my own, and cannot apply to anyone else, your opinions are also regarding your individual goats, and I welcome you to share them in a kind, constructive manner. 

I am not obligated to reply to your messages nor am I on call 24/7. There is no set time limit as to how long it may take me to respond, and my hours and availability will vary. I am not an on-call vet/worker or a 24/7 service, I am a farmer; and a friend, please adjust your expectations accordingly.
