5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the best of the best,
By T. Bachman (Victoria, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backyard Livestock (Paperback)
Anyone who would like to put a few animals in the backyard for eggs or meat or milk or everything altogether, will save hundreds of headaches, and probably hundreds of dollars, by buying this book and taking Steven Thomas's suggestions seriously. There are now dozens of these kinds of books out there, and I own a number of them (including "Barnyard In Your Backyard" which is nowhere near as good as this) but none of them comes close to "Backyard Livestock" for practicality of advice, conciseness of expression, and comprehensiveness. I have sheep, chicken, etc., and this has been far more reliable than any competing manuals that I own or know of. You can't not get it! It's indispensable.

Great Starter Book!,
By High Lonesome Ranch (Birch River, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backyard Livestock (Paperback)
To get information easily and quickly, this book is concise and informative. We bought this book when we first started our little farm and 10 years later are still referring to it! An excellent buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars
perfect book for a little farm,
By "claudiflag" (Flagstaff, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backyard Livestock (Paperback)
This is a great book, it gives you a lot of important information it is like having 8 or more books in one. We raised chickens, goats, rabbits, pigs and a cow. We had a couple of different books, but this one we used all the time to make sure we give our animals the right care.
