Running a small number of animals is the most popular use of lifestyle farms in New Zealand, but for those without farming experience this can be a daunting challenge. Lifestyle Farming in New Zealand addresses this head-on. Written by a veterinarian with extensive experience of working with lifestyle farmers, and also of running a small holding himself, the book was inspired by a frequent comment, "I wish there was a simple book on how to do it".
The book focuses on the livestock most commonly farmed on lifestyle blocks in New Zealand: sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, poultry, alpacas and llamas.
This book is packed with useful information, copiously illustrated with photographs and diagrams, and is written in an extremely accessible and down-to-earth manner.
The most complete and up-to-date reference for lifestyle farmers. Information is invaluable to the novice lifestyle farmer and a complete reference for the more experienced.
Without doubt this is an essential resource for the New Zealand lifestyle farmer.
