Editorial Reviews

Loved the cost breakdowns

This book answered all my questions and then some! The author even brought up points I hadn't considered, and really helped me think through the process of raising livestock off-grid. The visuals and cost breakdowns were very useful. I also really appreciated how detailed each chapter was-- saved so much research time, and I feel I'm better informed now to choose what will work best. I highly recommend this guidebook....

Excellent resource on self-reliant living!

I knew from the start that I would like Off Grid Farm Animal Essentials. Once again, John Utterback has written a hands-on, no-nonsense book that cuts through all the opinions and false information that one would get form a google search and delivers the pertinent information needed to start raising an animal or to improve production on your farm.... It is exciting to find answers that you can use in the well-researched book.
