Published by: Craig Potton Publishing

Living on a small block of land in the country is a cherished dream for many New Zealanders, and with the current boom in lifestyle farming this is a dream that is increasingly becoming a reality for these people. Running a small number of animals is the most popular use of lifestyle farms in this country, but for those without farming experience this can be a daunting challenge. Lifestyle Farming in New Zealand addresses this head-on. Written by a veterinarian with extensive experience of working with lifestyle farmers, and also of running a small holding himself, the book was inspired by a frequent comment, 'I wish there was a simple book on how to do it'. The book focuses on the livestock most commonly farmed on lifestyle blocks in New Zealand: sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, poultry, alpacas and llamas.

Author: Michael Trotter
Published by: David Bateman Ltd

Throughout the world, one breed of farm animal becomes extinct every month. This book outlines the history of the breeds of heritage livestock that were brought into, or developed in, New Zealand before 1950.
Modern factory-farming methods rely on only a few breeds of livestock, and differentiated breeds are disappearing at an alarming rate; and it's up to dedicated conservators to save them. The call to conserve rare breeds, and therefore biodiversity, is now all the more important. Rare breeds: preserve living remnants of our distant past; biodiversity - if disease or genetic malady should strike common domestic breeds, then hardy, heritage breeds could take up the slack; Some livestock and poultry breeds are best-suited to specific environments and needs. Rare breeds are of interest to owners of boutique farms and lifestyle blocks, and those who value New Zealand's agricultural history and the importance of biodiversity. Breeds ... more
