5Everything we needed to know...and more  Sep 29, 2008
I bought this book for my husband who has always wanted to raise a small farm of beef cattle. He took the book along on our 2 week vacation to Europe and completely devoured the book! He loved it, says it's the best single book on the subject he's ever seen! He has now requested the same series for pigs. (We already have the one for chickens). Oh, our first calves will arrive in a few months!

5Great browse  Jul 19, 2008
This book is easy to read, conversational, and incredibly informative. I got some great ideas from it. Hard to put down....
Well worth purchasing!

3OK, but not great  Jul 09, 2008
Book is reasonably informative but about half of the book is simply on birthing cattle.....which is a skill that obviously is important, but not something that I expected in this much detail in what I thought would be more of an overview manual. So ended up being more technical and specific that I had hoped.

5Very Good  Apr 25, 2008
The book is thorough and simple, and covers every aspect of raising beef cattle. Well written, and interesting, too.

54 thumbs up  Jan 14, 2008
I wish I had this book in the beginning. I could just about cry when I realize all of the pains learning i went through trial and error. This book is right on to the point about handling cows.

A+++++++++++++++++++
