Midwest Book Review, July 2007
“Rural library holdings or college-level collections strong in agricultural sciences will find it a top primer introducing the topic.”
ANIMAL PEOPLE, animalpeoplenews.org, Oct. 29, 2007
“The utilitarian titles and the Future Farmers of America logo on the covers of How To Raise Chickens, How To Raise Cattle, and How To Raise Horses conceal and camouflage a wealth of indications inside about how profoundly animal advocacy is beginning to influence animal agriculture.”Book Description

If you know nothing about cows, this might be the book for you. If you have ever been around or helped raise cows this will be too basic.

This review is from: How To Raise Cattle: Everything You Need To Know (Paperback)
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.
