A man that is local to me that has a dairy goat business told me I should start with "Storey's Guide to Dairy Goats". Says it's very good reading and pretty comprehensive.

Other than that I have no advice to offer...

Baking soda is like tums for goats. If they eat brush or weeds that are very green and /or it's been raining, they will lick some of the baking soda so they burp. It keeps the PH in the rumen balanced.
