5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Text Book
Reviewed in the United States on 27 October 2011

I've dreamed of moving back to a farm for most of my life, having grown up during my youngest years on one. I of course want all the usual farm critters but I know I don't know a thing about raising them. So I'm teaching myself everything I need to know now, so that when I am able to make the jump from city life to farm life I'll be a little more prepared.

This Textbook is exactly what I'm looking for. Straight forward, standard format with quite a wide range of coverage for all the standard farm animals. It doesn't try and pull any punches either, readily admitting that sometimes pain during handling livestock is not only neccessary but required. It teaches how to use the least painful, least stressful, least disturbing amount of intervention required for the various tasks, and what signs you can read from the animal to know what level to respond with.

Obviously first hand experience will be a thousand times better but knowing what to expect will definitely make that a much less traumatizing event for me, and for the critters I will some day soon be raising.

This is a very informative book that is easy to understand. It shows many common livestock practices and even has pictures and/or diagrams for further clarification. Each chapter is about a different animal so there is no confusion, great layout, good information, well put together.
