 glossy pictures, useless information Jul 17, 2010
Tries to cover too much ground with too little information. This book doesn't know if its about the economics of a beef operation or about how to care for cattle. The sections on fencing is a joke and there is absolutely nothing about how to manage the logistics of keeping a bull. There is too much information about AI if you just want to have someone do it, and too little to even consider doing it yourself.
If you want a coffee table book about cows, there are better ones, but the pictures are nice. I suppose if you live next door to a dairy or a farm, it might be nice "background reading" but it sure won't help when it comes to actually raising cattle.

 Printed in China?? Feb 01, 2010
Would of read this untill I saw where it was printed. Why can't we keep printing in the states? Have we lost the printing business in this country?

 Helpful for city folks only. Dec 01, 2009
This book is a very nice, glossy brochure for city people who dream of starting a cattle operation to 'get back to the land' or 'live the simple life' or something similar. It's a good recruiting tool but is only helpful as a primer for someone who knows absolutely nothing about living in the country or raising farm animals. I recommend finding a more in depth book to get a real idea of what farming and ranching really means. This lifestyle is 24/7-365, all weather (the worse the weather the more you'll work) and all consuming. There are no vacations in this life. It's almost impossible to battle the corporate farms when working with an established operation and basically impossible to start from nothing. If you want to live in the country and play part-time farmer, look at goats or some other small animal that's easier to manage.

Basics of how to raise cattle Jul 06, 2009
Engaging book with great photos, it only covered the basics of raising cattle but is a great introduction to cattle ranching. Great book to read as a family before visiting a ranch

How to Raise Cattle Mar 12, 2009
How to Raise Cattle was of little help if you are not knowledgeable about farming. There was very little detail about how to care for and market cattle. The author just kept referring you to your county extension agent for further information.
