Storey's Guide to Raising Beef Cattle

Author: Heather Smith Thomas

Category: General Cattle Farming

Why I recommend this book

In Storey's Guide To Raising Beef Cattle, Heather Smith Thomas' personal experiences raising cattle come through - she has clearly paid her dues in the calving barn and out on pasture. 

The book focuses on the traditional cow-calf side of the cattle industry. Many of the practices discussed, particularly surrounding calving, are the vital survival strategies that every cattle rancher MUST learn.

Even if your ultimate goal is a pasture-based production model with summer calving and winter grazing, your farming toolbox would not be complete without the calving intervention strategies, disease and treatment protocols, buying and selling tips, and cattle health wisdom discussed in this book.

I am proud to have served as one of the technical reviewers for the 3rd edition of this book; it certainly gets my enthusiastic nod of approval as an indispensable guidebook for anyone raising cattle.
