Riassunto

Imagine putting together a big breakfast using eggs straight from your own chickens and bacon from the pig. This is an ideal that many dream of but few ever get to experience. Now, with The Ultimate Guide to Raising Farm Animals, that dream can become a reality, and so much more.

In The Ultimate Guide to Raising Farm Animals, you will learn how to take care of chickens, pigs, sheep, cows, and other livestock. Each chapter is dedicated to a different animal, and you will learn not only how to take care of them but also what sorts of things you can get from them. If you want to save money, become more self-sufficient, and enjoy healthier, locally sourced food, The Ultimate Guide to Raising Farm Animals is the book you need.
