Review: even though this book is written for the American farmer, I found a lot of the information quite helpful to me. I have not been farming very long. We work with beef cattle on grass and it has been a steep learning curve for us. Thank you for such well articulated good sense. I have taken initiatives that I thought were sensible and this book has either confirmed my ideas or given me a better way to approach the situation. I have also appreciated the statistical information given about the cattle. Thank you and God bless

Review: Christmas gift for my father who is an old time rancher. He now reads this book every night, and has even learned some things that he didn't know in his 30+ years experience. Great book for a beginner or long time beef cattle raiser.

Title: Good, Thorough Book!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2006
Review: This book was exactly what I was looking for. I know nothing about cattle, my husband has raised them since he was young. I wanted a book that would explain the "little things" to me so I wouldn't have to ask him day in day out what this meant, what they are doing, how will we know when they are in heat, etc. It's very interesting, easy read and very informative.

Review: Anyone familiar with the Storey's line of books already knows this book is worth buying. I have this series for a variety of barnyard critters and find them all to be a complete resource on raising and caring for my animals.
