Building Strong Foundations, Part 3. Choosing Livestock for Your Farm

/in ,

In the final session of the three-part “Building Strong Foundations” series for beginning livestock farmers, NCAT specialists draw on their own experience to offer tips for success in starting a livestock operation — with worms, poultry, rabbits, hogs, sheep and goats, or cattle. Learn about respecting the limits of your land and choosing a livestock species based on your resource base, marketing, and goals. To give an idea of the options available, NCAT specialists provide virtual tours of their own farms.

This video is produced by the National Center for Appropriate Technology through the ATTRA Sustainable Agriculture program, under a cooperative agreement with USDA Rural Development. ATTRA.NCAT.ORG.
