Important information on nutrition, reproduction, and genetics! This volume begins by dealing primarily with the management of the cow herd, followed by management of the pre-weaned and post-weaned calf. A chapter detailing the business management aspect of beef cattle production provides much useful information as well. As technology continues to evolve and the economy changes, the business of raising cattle is becoming more complex. The Thomas book helps readers understand the importance of a good business background in being successful in the beef cattle industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Serious Readers Only,
By Willard L Lee (Bixby, OK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beef Cattle Production: An Integrated Approach (Hardcover)
Mr. Thomas deserves credit for researching and providing essential information for the cattleman who is serious about improving the efficiency of his operation. I have recently purchased and read several books on the subject, and while this is an older book, Beef Cattle Production: An Integrated Approach is head and shoulders above the others for reference material covering a broad spectrum of subjects. From sire and dam selection, disease control, reproduction of purebred, cross-bred and commercial cattle, to ranch layout, operational issues, financing tips and equipment concerns this book hits on them all. NOT for casual observers - its for the cattleman.

Excelent book!,
By Geraldo (Brasilia, DF Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beef Cattle Production: An Integrated Approach (Hardcover)
The book presents the main points that intervene with the efficiency of the activity of beef cattle, as genetic, feed and reproduction. Indicated for beginning and veteran farmers that still desire to magnify its knowledge.
