3.0 out of 5 stars A good general guide however quite out-dated., 16 Aug 2001
By A Customer
A nice over-view of general livestock management, however it has a dated look. Not only are the photos out dated some of the information especially regarding the laws concerning keeping livestock are dangerously behind the times. References to legal requirements should not be relied on. The book tends to cast a dubious shadow over the farming industry - with hauliers, autioneers and dealers coming under particular scrutiny. Naive considering the vast amounts of legislation actively enforced in this industry. However a nice introduction for those new to the industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are you new at livestock keeping? then get this one!, 28 April 2002
I was given this book by a good friend to read as I have a few hens. I found it to be such a good book that she has not got it back yet and wont till my copy is here. It has a very readable text with very helpful information. Even how to dispach and prepare poultry for the table. A taboo subject for most writers

5.0 out of 5 stars Total must have., 22 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Thanks to this book and of course the all knowing John seymour, I am a city girl who now owns Sheep, ducks and hens. Soon to move to a small holding, I am confident that I can also cope with goats and donkeys - And make a small income from the land and feed the family! It gives you the info you need to care for the animals, but also to talk to others without looking a complete novice! As soon as you have a bit of knowledge under your belt, others with heaps more experience are soon happy to give you good advice and before you know it - you really DO know what you are doing!
