Customer Reviews: Mine is all worn out - I need a new copy!March 30, 2009 TimeFerChange(Upstate NY, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read this book as a 4-H for my farm projects. It gives good details on multiple small farm subjects. It is a little dated but animal husbandry has not changed all that much in the last 30 years. Now that I have my own house and some land I need a new copy. Goats, chickens, pigs and Guinea fowl are in my future and this book gives details on housing, care and feeding. A good basic primer in a day and age of where it will be cheaper to raise a feeder pig than to buy roasts! (And I will know that mine are not contaminated with who knows what.)

The ideal handbook for those looking for information in a simple format that is complete in detail and content. It is apparent the author has written from first-hand experience on everything from birds to turkeys. A great reference book to have on the shelf when your daughter wants a cage or hutch for her new pet rabbit or you want to know how to tan that hide from your most recent hunting expedition. Want to try your hand at a small farm? This book is a must first.
