Small Cattle For Small Farms... |
Small Cattle for Small Farms would be to anyone from a suburban background.
Now I know that everyone reading this review is a Lowline breeder, while the book covers all small cattle breeds available in Australia, but in some ways that's an advantage. If you're going to be around shows and field days promoting and marketing your Lowlines, reading Small Cattle for Small Farms will give you an overview of every other breed, and will help you to talk more knowledgeably to potential customers.
It also gives you a heads-up on what your potential customers are going to ask you, because in it, Margo answers the real questions asked by her many clients over the years. The book covers what breeds are available, the basics of selecting stock, feeding, shelter, and husbandry, animal behaviour, breeding and calving, nutrition, identification methods, showing, marketing and government regulations as well tips for producing top quality beef.
