It discusses animal husbandry, marketing , regulation etc... ATTRA (Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas) - This organization will respond to all questions and will also send out free pre-prepared info packets. The info-packet titled "Sustainable Beef Production" is 20+ pages and is very good. 1-800-346-9140 Stockman Grass Farmer is the journal to subscribe to if you are interested in rotational grazing. (Rotational grazing is the most cost effect and ecological way to raise all ruminant animals.) 1-800-748-9808 Pastured Poultry Profits is a very comprehensive book describing Joel Salatin's method of raising organic poultry. He uses portable cages which are moved daily. His book can be ordered from the following address: Joel Salatin Polyface, INC. Route 1, Box 281 Swoope, VA 24479 I hope this info is useful.
