I really love this as a reference book. It has actionable information for a beginner. It gives you things to think about, like:
- why do you want cows (meat? milk? pet?)
- what kind of breeds suit your goals
- what you need to do before you get a cow (so it doesn't live in your garage!)
- the logistics of how to get a cow
- the logistics of how to get rid of a cow
- how to care for and feed it in between the getting and getting rid of
That's just one animal. It goes into detail for all the animals listed in the title.
This isn't an exhaustive book, but it is the one with actually useful information I want to start with.
