Animals & Farming

If you’ve got chickens in your backyard, sheep in your pasture, a goat in your barn, or a herd of cattle on some acreage, Storey’s Guide to Raising series belongs on your kitchen table. These essential reference books are the bibles for animal owners and farmers, large or small. But our farming books don’t stop there; we have in-depth guides on specialty areas such as grass-fed cattle, oxen, donkeys, livestock guardians, keeping chickens in small suburban spaces, and marketing and selling small-farm products. Whether your farm is in your backyard, on a large ranch, or just a dream for the future, these books will help you through all the situations you may encounter in daily life on the farm.
