The Joy of Keeping Farm Animals

For hobby farmers who’ve enjoyed raising chickens, it may be time to think outside the egg carton. The Joy of Keeping Farm Animals puts you on the right path to responsibly expanding your world to include goats, pigs, sheep and cows. From choosing the right breed for a specific need (whether it be egg, milk, meat or fiber production) to breeding, birthing and butchering, former city slicker Laura Childs happily does it all on her beloved farm. With her firsthand account of the ins and outs of caring for farm animals, from pasture to table, she’ll show you the humane way to feed, shelter, vaccinate, clean-up after and protect your animals and, importantly, when to call the professionals for help.
