Introduction to Heritage Breeds by D Phillip Sponenberg, DVM
Heritage breeds matter, and they are often a better choice than conventional breeds for small farms and backyards. Written by three experts from the Livestock Conservancy, this book includes chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigs, sheep, goats, cattle, donkeys, and horses, detailing each breed's specific needs and characteristics so that you can select the one that's right for you. Whichever breed you choose, you'll find thorough, comprehensive information on how to raise it successfully.
