Doing a bit of research. Read this book and found that I actually knew a lot of the information in it! I'd written about most of these things for my day job.

So, obviously, this book is pretty basic.

I've learned a shocking amount of things in five years. How weird!

This was such an amazing book! I hated to see it end. It gave me a better idea of all that is involved in starting and successfully running a cattle program; I really appreciated getting solid advice from someone who has navigated the cattle business.

This is a great resource for anyone wanting to raise cattle. My kids and I read this book together as we raise cattle and we could associate some things that are in the book to what we do with our cattle.
