This review is from: Understanding Breeding Management (Paperback)

I am a big fan of all the "Understanding" books by TheHorse, but this one is one of my favorites. There are great pictures and a through explanation of Natural as well as Artificial Insemination. It helped me pass a Breeding and Reproduction class, making all my cryptic notes so much clearer!
