Barnyard in Your Backyard (2002, Paperback, Illustrated)

This is the perfect book for folks who want to have a flock or herd or just a few farm animals but just don't know which ones. It's divided into sections about each grouping and tells you the basics. It helps you decide which animals you whould prefer based on the care, size requirements etc of each group. We enjoyed reading the book and found it to be very informative and an easy read.

This book is great for anyone who wants to start a small home farm but doesn't know how. It is divided into sections covering rabbits, chickens, goats, sheep, and cows. Discusses health, breeds, uses, finances, and more. Excellent resource for the first-time farm. It even has interesting pictures.

Very thorough information for a beginner hobby farmer. I hope a sequel comes out covering other species (like pigs and turkeys), but if you want to know the basics about rabbits, chickens, goats, sheep, ducks, or cattle, this book is a great choice.

Bought it to get advise before getting sheep, very informative and easy presented information, no back ground knowledge needed to understand the book... even helped me out with our chickens with usefull info about finding the good layers in the flock,...
