Whether you’re raising one cow or a herd, this is the go-to reference you need. Both new and experienced cattle ranchers will benefit from Heather Smith Thomas’s expert advice on everything from breed selection, calving, feeding, and housing to humane handling and slaughter practices. Now in its third edition, Storey’s Guide to Raising Beef Cattle has been thoroughly revised and updated to include comprehensive, up-to-the-minute information on diseases and vaccinations; raising grass-fed animals; identifying and dealing with toxic pasture plants; and much more.
Heather Smith Thomas has been raising cattle since she was 12 years old. She and her husband have raised a herd of cattle that they have cross-bred to meet the needs of their rugged and hilly ranch in Salmon, Idaho. Heather has written many books, including Storey’s Your Calf and Guide to Raising Beef Cattle. She and her husband live in Idaho.
