Summary

You just never know what might happen.

Who would have thought a year ago, there would be a war in Ukraine that affects the globe, or that with inflation skyrocketing, a possible recession is just around the bend? And let’s not forget what happened from 2019 to 2021…the “C-word”. That’s right, COVID.

In these uncertain times, it's important to be prepared for anything. That's why you need a backyard barnyard–so you can raise your own goats, chickens, rabbits, and more. With food prices rising, and the global economy on shaky ground, it's more important than ever to become self-reliant, and with a backyard barnyard, you can do just that.

If you're looking for a more sustainable way of life, look no further than raising goats, chickens, rabbits, and more in your backyard barnyard. With our help, you can learn the joys of self-reliance, and have fresh eggs and meat all year round.

Inside this audiobook, you will find answers to common questions related to raising your own animals. Questions such as:

  • Can Billy goats really eat anything?
  • What animals best fit into my living arrangement?
  • How often do quail provide eggs?
  • How crucial are bees to man’s survival?
  • What is too much when it comes to harvesting honey?
  • What is the best time to shear a sheep?
  • Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I’ll let you decide on that one!

In the near future, we may all be on our own, with no government help or handouts. So, it's best to be prepared now and have a food security plan in place. Not to mention, a backyard barnyard is recession-resistant–because you're not relying on anyone else for your food. And it's sustainable too–so you can feel good knowing that you're not damaging the environment in the process.

Make your own way in the world and thrive with a backyard barnyard. The future is uncertain, so be prepared for any storm or crisis by raising produce that will help feed you during hard times-like an insurance plan! By learning these skills, it won't take long before this becomes part of who we are as people: self-sufficient individuals looking out after themselves and their families first, rather than relying solely upon the charity of others.

What are you waiting for? Raise your own food, provide for your own food security, and thrive in an increasingly difficult era. Get started on your backyard barnyard today!

Very informative and ready to start

With rising costs of literally everything at the moment, we are seriously considering to start our own backyard barnyard to help with costs. We love all things organic and wanted to start at the very beginning of the process and this audible delivers. We are complete beginners but this audible is well structured, has invaluable information and is gearing us up to actually start our own back garden farm. It leaves you excited and ready to go - highly recommended for anyone wanting to get started raising their own farm animals and live a sustainable lifestyle,

Farming Forever!

Have you ever wanted to be a farmer? Would you like to raise just one or two types of animals as a hobby? Are you looking for ways to become more sustainable and stop depending so much on grocery stores and other people for your food and survival? Do you feel like you don't know how to start working towards these dreams? Buy this book today!

The author explains the benefits of self-sufficiency and provides a ton of valuable information about 7 barnyard animals that can be part of your journey and how you can learn the skills to raise them. He covers goats, chickens, rabbits, bees, sheep, quail, and ducks.

The author goes into great detail about each animal. You will learn how to care for them properly, the benefits of raising them, different breeds to choose from, and fun facts and trivia that will make you even more excited to add one of these animals to your backyard farm as soon as possible!

My favorite chapters were the ones on goats, quail and ducks. Now the only problem is to try to decide which of these amazing animals I'd like to get first!

You Don't Have to Implement Everything

I must admit that I don't eat meat so some of this audiobook doesn't apply to me, but raising chickens, and goats and sheep for their milk is certainly an option for me. And for those that do want the full nine yards, you can learn about raising other animals too. I am amazed that sheep don't need an enclosed structure. I was happy to learn that sheep, goats, and chickens co-exist well, because in my perfect world that is what I'd raise. Great info.
