Description/Notes
An authoritative reference on the environmentally responsible humane way to raise healthful beef, this manual addresses every aspect of raising grass-fed cattle, from pasture management to marketing.
With grass-fed beef popping up on menus across North America, and more small-farm owners venturing into this growth area, the time is right for a comprehensive book on how to raise, manage, and market grass-fed cattle.
Join the movement toward safe, healthy, sustainable grass-fed cattle farming. Take advantage of the naturally efficient relationship between cattle and pasture to create a profitable, financially stable enterprise, regardless of the size of your farm, the climate where you live, or your current farming practices. Cattle are wonderfully adept at converting grass into meat, fat and milk. Here, Julius Ruechel gives you the management and marketing tools you need to meet your personal, financial and farming goals. Whether you are beginning a new enterprise or changing from a more conventional feeding and management system, Grass-Fed Cattle offers complete information on running a profitable, environmentally sustainable farm based on the efficiency of cattle and grass.
'For people starting out in raising grass-fed beef, this book is essential. For the experienced grass farmer, this book is an important addition to the library.' - Temple, Grandin, designer of humane livestock facilities; author of Animals in Translation
'This book walks the reader through every phase of grass-fed beef production, often detailing aspects found wanting in textbooks on the subject. Its lessons are international and conquer the environmental differences under which grass is grown and fed. Outstanding!' - Charles Walters, Executive Editor of Acres, USA
'An excellent how-to book for grass-based natural cattle production...one you will want to read and re-read many times.' - from the foreword by Allan Nation, Editor of The Stockman Grass Farmer
