We farm in southern England with a herd or organic Red Poll cattle which are purely grass fed. Julius Ruechels' book, Grass Fed Cattle. has been like a bible to us. Although aimed at cattle in Canada, its information applies equally well here in the UK. We found its chapters on grass management, cattle behaviour and marketing extremely useful. When we travelled to Australia to visit other Red Poll herds, we gave our hosts a copy of this overarching book. Unlike many farmers who never have the opportunity to taste their own produce, we sell our own beef from our farm, in local markets and on the internet. We liken our beef to a fine wine as customers understand and accept the higher prices for wine. Most of the UK public think beef is beef and have not been encouraged to discern different tastes and qualities. Once buyers have tasted our beef they understand how different it is from the corn fed supermarket, not hung, product on sale there. Red Polls are a dual purpose breed and ideal for grass fed management but they do take longer to mature to slaughter than a corn fed animal. However, our organic method means we don't purchase any fertilisers or regular antibiotics and our cattle are classed as slow food. Thank you Julius for your book and for all the encouragement we have gleaned from it. www.CoolsFarmOrganics.com

@Maggie Edwards, I really appreciate all your kind words about my book! I explored your website; your farm looks absolutely beautiful! I love Red Poll cattle but unfortunately they are still quite rare here in Canada.
