Katahdin Hair Sheep - Raising a Profitable Breed of Sheep Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: What are Katahdin Hair Sheep Chapter 2: The Katahdin Advantage Chapter 3: Selecting Katahdin Sheep for your Flock Chapter 4: Reaping the Benefits of the Katahdin Breed Closing Remarks Author Bio Introduction More than a few people would use words like ‘dumb’ and ‘stupid’ to describe sheep. Not me. I use words like ‘trusting’, ‘habitual’ and ‘profitable’. I use these words because they are what I know sheep to be. As someone who spent over twenty years as a shepherd to several hundred head of sheep, I can say in no uncertain terms that I know the potential for sheep when it comes to making your farm a profitable business. The degree of profitability, however, depends upon the quality of your sheep. And when it comes to quality, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better breed of sheep than the Katahdin. Katahdin are hair sheep; meaning they don’t have wool. So yes, if your intentions for raising sheep are for spinning, you will need to choose a wool breed known for the quality of their wool. But if it’s meat production you are after, look no further than the Katahdin.

Chickens Are Livestock, Too - A beginner’s guide to raising chickens Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Parts is Parts Chapter 2: Which Chickens are for You Chapter 3: Basic Chicken Care Chapter 4: When Something Goes Wrong Chapter 5: All About Egg Chapter 6: What You Need and Where to Get It Conclusion Author Bio Introduction “Who’d wanna eat a chicken?” asks the hen on Disney’s® animated movie, Home on the Range. The truth of the matter is, most people. Did you know that, according to the USDA, there are over 100 million chickens butchered every single day for human consumption in the United States? That’s a lot of chicken. That figure isn’t taking into consideration the number of eggs consumed each day—fried, scrambled or used in cooking and baking. Needless to say, chickens are pretty important. It’s no wonder that chickens are a favorite of so many wishing to have some sort of livestock to care for. Some even call them the city dweller’s answer to farming. This is because it is possible in most cities across the country to have under a dozen hens as long as you keep them confined to a coop and/or keep a wing clipped so they can’t fly. Sorry, though, no roosters allowed in town. All of these facts led to the writing of this book; a basic beginner’s guide to raising chickens. This book will introduce you to the different types and breeds of chickens, how to care for your chickens, how to identify and treat problems in your chickens and give you the basics of setting up and maintaining a chicken coop and yard. This book is not meant to serve as a replacement for guidance and education from those with years of experience in raising poultry and is not meant to replace the services of a veterinarian or other livestock expert. The purpose of this book is to give you the basics of poultry selection, care and management in order to enable you to have a healthy, productive flock of chickens.
