Yes. However these books are going to tell you how to manage animals regeneratively, not just sustainably. The practices they tell you about will actually improve the land which the animals live on and the surrounding wildlife habitat, rather than just avoid destroying it.
If you want to know how to manage poultry (aka all farm birds), Pastured Poultry Profits by Joel Salatin will tell you everything you need to know as a beginner. Also, I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure his book Salad Bar Beef goes into a similar level of detail about beef cattle management.
Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown is about beef cattle and pasture-cropped, multispecies, no-till grain. Extremely good and easy to read.
No Risk Ranching by Greg Judy is good if you want to get an introduction to how to actually start managing cattle as employment. I'd suggest reading this to get a handle on livestock management as a career, if you're interested in that. If after reading you want to pursue it, read Fields of Farmers by Joel Salatin and then look for an internship on attra.org before starting out on your own.
Soil Fertility and Animal Health by William Albrecht goes into a lot of detail about soil composition so I wouldn't read it before any of the previously mentioned books, just because it would be overwhelming and probably boring af for someone who has no context for it.
Any Temple Grandin book about livestock is a good insight into animal psychology. I enjoyed and learned a lot from Animals in Translation.
I also have an amazon wishlist which is mostly just serving as a collection of books that look interesting, I can't really hope to read all of them. There are a ton of farming and nature related books on there if you want to browse, but I haven't read any of them obviously so I can't vouch for them. Pretty much all of them are on there because they were referenced in some of the other books I mentioned.

Additionally, all of the authors I mentioned except Albrecht are still alive and have loads of YouTube content which is probably more useful than just the books. Ray Archuleta and Colin Seis are also a couple of men worth googling. This is my career so that's why I have so much information.
