Magazines, any recommendations?

Anybody subscribe to any publications related to goats that are interesting and helpful?
I may be getting a subscription for Father's Day if I can find one I like.

I like "The Goat Rancher" magazine, although it is mainly about Boers and Kikos. I think anyone raising meat goats would really enjoy it.

My vote is for Dairy Goat Journal. It's a sister publication to Countryside and Small Stock Magazine. You can get a free issue to try from the company.

I used to enjoy Dairy Goat Journal "back in the day, " when it published good husbandry-oriented articles. Now it speaks mainly to the show circuits: page after page of contest participants and results.
Useless information for a goatkeeper who does not show.

I subscribe to United Caprine News. It has articles on both dairy and meat goats as well as show stuff. I also like Dairy Goat Journal.

I get United Caprine News, Dairy Goat Journal and used to get Goat Magazine. United Caprine News would be my pick as far as useful articles, has some show stuff but a lot of health articles from vets and reputable breeders. My .02.
