	barnyard in your backyard: a beginners guide to raising chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, goats, sheep and cattle Gail Damerow The title is self explanatory really, but this is a great book if you're just starting up your own smallholding - each chapter focuses on a single animal and discusses the pros and cons for each, the land and housing requirements, feeding guidelines, health concerns and a schedule for routine care. A brilliant introductory book. 480pp click on image for contents page more on keeping livestock Price: £18.99

	the smallholder's guide to animal ailments Russell Lyon (ed) Written by smallholders for smallholders this book gives first hand experience of the common problems which, at one time or another, anyone looking after farm animals on a small-scale will meet up with and certainly should know what to look out for and how to take steps to prevent it. It isn’t intended to ever replace the vet but it does recognise that it’s readers will be in close daily contact with every animal in their care and will therefore be able to spot early any signs of trouble - often, quite simply, knowing that a particular animal is ‘not quite themself’ is sign enough for a closer inspection. Edited by Russel Lyons BVM&S, MRCVS, chapters cover pigs, goats, poultry, turkeys, sheep, cattle and bees and each section is accompanied by an easy to read diagnostic check and has contributions from widely recognised names in the field including Janice Houghton-Wallace, Carol Harris, Paul Peacock and Felicity Stockwell who share a common sense, practical approach to looking after animals in their care. 224pp more on keeping livestock Price: £15.95
