The Backyard Homestead Guide to Raising Farm Animals Edited by Gail Damerow
Choose the best breeds for small-space farming, produce your own grass-fed meat, gather fresh eggs, collect fresh milk, make your own cheese, keep chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, & bees. Enjoy a weekend breakfast featuring eggs, bacon, and honey from your own chickens, pigs, and bees, or a holiday meal with your own heritage-breed turkey as the main attraction.

Even with just a small plot of land, you can become more self-sufficient, save money, and enjoy healthy, delicious animal products.
