For anyone giving thought to owning & raising a particular species, the "Storey" Guide books should be the first book to buy.
Why? Because they focus on fundamentals, have many
illustrations and data, are not so long that they're offputting and are written in "laymen's language" for USA conditions by authors respected in their industry.
Once you have a "Storey" sense of a species you can move to other books that address more specific aspects.
Chapters include:
- Breeds and Genetics: An Overview
- Handling and Behavior of Beef Cattle
- Issues in Buying and Selling
- General Guidelines for Raising Beef Cattle
- Pasture, Fencing, Facilities
- Feeding Cattle
- Keeping Cattle Healthy
- Growing and Breeding Heifers
- Care of the Pregnant Cow
- Calving
- Care of the Newborn Calf
- Calf Health
- Weaning the Calf
- Rebreeding
