My textbook for my Sustainable Livestock Management class arrived in the mail today. We are using Barnyard in Your Backyard, edited by Gail Damerow. I’ve actually had this book on my Amazon Wishlist for over a year, so it was a lucky twist of fate that it ended up being the book I needed for class! I’m excited to start reading it – you can plan on some ongoing reviews and great tidbits as the semester continues. The only negative thing I’ve heard about the book is that it is a very basic primer on animal care; farmer friends of mine said that they found it lacking when it came to the nitty-gritty of livestock care. I’m hoping that it at least gives me a good background so that in the next few years as I gear up to acquire some livestock of mine own I have a base foundation of knowledge.

This has nothing to do with your post, but!! I made butter last night!! I can’t wait to use it tonight. I think I’m going to throw some honey in it and then use the buttermilk to make buscuits. Ohhhh yeahhhhhh.
