"Off Grid Farm Animal Essentials" is seriously comprehensive, covering everything from chickens to goats, pigs, and rabbits.

It breaks everything down into manageable steps, which is great for beginners like me, but even experienced farmers will find it super helpful.What I love most is how practical John Utterback is. It's not just theory; it's real-world advice that helps you make smart decisions about your farm.

And he doesn't just focus on the money – there's a ton of info on pasture management and ecological stuff too.Even though it's packed with info, it's not hard to understand. The writing's clear, and he really breaks things down so anyone can get it. Overall, if you're thinking about raising animals off the grid, this book is a game-changer. Trust me, it's worth every penny.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Farm Animal Care, But Lacks Off-Grid Insights
This book is a great introduction to the basics of farm animal care! I especially enjoyed the section on different chicken breeds and egg sizes. This will definitely give me some ideas for what breeds I would like to do in the future. This book had a lot of facts and numbers. I was hoping for more information on raising animals without electricity—for example, how to keep chickens and collect eggs without a heat lamp. I also found it surprising that the book recommends refrigerating eggs, as unwashed eggs can safely be left out. I thought this book would explain more of how to care for animals in an off grid emergency.
5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive!
The author knocks it out of the park (again) with his book Off Grid Farm Animal Essentials. This book is very comprehensive(!!) and looks at the different types of livestock that can be used for off-grid living. This includes animals ranging from milk cows, goats (milk and utility), sheep, pigs, rabbits, and fowl (chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese). When I say comprehensive, the author goes into detail all of the factors that need to be considered when raising the specific type of animal you may be interested in for off-grid living. This includes: the book looks at the different breeds of each species, breeding and gestation periods, feeding/watering, land management/containment/sheltering, predator/predator control, just to name a few of the areas covered. The author then covers a cost/benefit analysis which is HUGELY beneficial as you can help determine what you might need for your given situation.Similar to his other book titled "Off Grid Home Building Essentials," the authors style lays out the information in an easy to read manner. The author also does not make any specific recommendations that you should choose "X" animal over "Y" animal. However, the information presented will allow you to make an informed decision based upon what you want or can do based upon your own situation. For example, I was looking at raising chickens and found information included in this book that I had not considered. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars I never knew I needed to know so much! Such a helpful book!
This book is so thoughtfully written and a wealth of information...WOW! I found that this book is not only the "go to" for homesteaders, but also helpful for wanna-be farmers or for folks who simply have the room in their backyard to raise livestock. If you want to do it right, I highly recommend getting this book for your library - it will contain everything you need to know about raising the right kind of animal, for the right place and for the right purpose. It will even cover the expenses, maintenance, breeding, types of shelters needed, benefits of each type of animal, how much milk or egg etc. production you will need, certain behavior patterns...I mean everything! Not only is this book so helpful, but it's just plain fascinating to read. I learned so much and have a much deeper appreciation for livestock and their many benefits!
