4.0 out of 5 stars Great starter book, July 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Calf: A Kid's Guide to Raising and Showing Beef and Dairy Calves (Paperback)

I'm fifteen and am in FFA I recently purchased my first calf. My Dad got this book for me and it has helped out from purchasing a sound heifer to shelter and feeding. The chapter on calfing is also very helpful. A great book for a first calf project.
