2021., Adult, New Society Publishers Call No: 636.2 RAP Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: Every farm needs a cow -- open the gates! With an approach built around investing for the long term, Homestead Cows prepares homesteaders and small farmers to open the farm gate to cattle, whether a single milk cow or a small beef herd. Homestead Cows covers the A to Z of husbandry: Cow history, biology, diet, and nutrition; Understanding what you want, what's involved, and creating a plan; Selecting breeds and determining herd size; Housing and facilities, transportation, and equipment; Financial management and the dollars and cents of cows; Breeding and reproduction; Cow health and happiness, including safety, handling, and good husbandry; and Processing, products, and cooking. Cattle are the most productive, versatile, and low-input sources of food and revenue on the farm, and can help regenerate and build soil. The secret to success is excellent management, and Homestead Cows distills decades of hard-won, practical knowledge into an essential guide to successful small-scale cattle farming for every homesteader and farmer. -- Amazon.
