All numbers are computed from the live course catalog — nothing is estimated or invented.
Published curricula show their real module and lesson-plan counts. Nothing is marked available until real lessons exist — no invented ratings, student counts, or completion data.

Emergency language always redirects to a licensed veterinarian — and notifiable diseases to authorities.
Prompts connect to the published Goats Academy curricula.
Caprine physiology, husbandry, and dairy context — not generic pet advice.

No. Every curriculum teaches observation, prevention, and preparation so you can act earlier and communicate better — examination, diagnosis, and treatment always belong to licensed professionals.
Goats Academy content teaches observation, prevention, and preparation. It never replaces examination, diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed veterinarian. For bloat, kidding complications, a buck straining to urinate, suspected poisoning, or sudden herd illness, contact a licensed veterinarian immediately — and remember that notifiable-disease suspicion must be reported to your veterinary authorities. Biosecurity protects your herd and your neighbors' herds.
