He started researching everything he could regarding goat care, as well as turning as much as possible to his more experienced goat friends for help in critical situations.

Armed with better information and increasingly more experience, he soon created a huge network of people willing to help other goat owners save and properly care for their sick animals. Staffed with volunteers from across the U.S. and Canada, Goat911.com quickly became credited by many grateful goat owners for helping to save their animal’s lives via email and telephone calls in times of need.  Gary became a well-known calming voice on the other end of a phone call to many a panicked goat owner who had to suddenly serve as doctor, nurse and friend to his/her animal in distress.

When he wasn’t teaching goat care, Gary was researching and writing his own articles.  Many of his articles and opinions have been published in universtity studies on goat diseases and animal care books, magazines and other goat care websites around the world. 

Even though GoatWorld.com initially began as an Education and service-oriented project, it ultimately provided Gary a unique business opportunity to sell various Agriculture products.

He finally pursued that opportunity and is now well known throughout the goat industry for his services and products. At the same time, he helped   bring more attention to the U.S. markets about the benefits of keeping and raising goats as multipurpose animals, rather than just as a dairy animal  – their traditional role. As a reult of his efforts, the goat meat industry slowly began to build its own identity, separate from the well-established sheep industry and GoatWorld.com has become a huge part of the Jolly German’s legacy.
