Customer Reviews

Well written

Please note that when I first came across this book, I found it in the library in the youth section. But considering I was a youth in regards to raising livestock, I found the book both well-written and very helpful--so much so that I have decided to raise small livestock and have moved on to more advanced readings. In a nutshell: This book is written for beginners and I derived much joy in reading it. Thank You.

Want To Raise Chickens?

A quick fun book to read for anyone who's fantasized about raising livestock in their back yard, but never quite got up the nerve to do so. Full of interesting little tips, presented in a readable format. This is not the "dry" book you would expect.
