"This is one of my favorite books ever! It teaches you how to choose, buy, build shelters for, train, care fore, sell, breed, and do all sorts of other stuff with Ducks, Geese, Chickens, Rabbits, Goats, Sheep, Dairy Cattle, and Beef Cattle. I have this book on my desk to refer to whenever I need it. It's a great help when you're trying to pick out an animal. It lists different breeds, along with the ups and downs for each one. If I could give 6 stars to any two books, it would probably be this one and the Book of Mormon."
"Great starter book if you are intersted in getting involved with a variety of animals. Gives the basics enough for you to get started and decide which route to go. I continue to use this book for reference."
