Animal Husbandry

Chickens, goats, rabbits, and sheep — housing, feeding, health, and the honest daily work of keeping livestock well.

Animal Husbandry is taught in grade 9 through grade 12. Each year below is a complete course in its own right, with its own units, its own quizzes, and its own downloads.

This is a self-paced elective. It sits outside the daily schedule, so a family can take it over a summer, stretch it across a year, or skip it without unsettling anything else.
