This text contains a detailed treatise on raising cattle for the production of beef, with a wealth of information on subjects such as marketing, price fluctuations, breeding, varieties, and much more. A book that contains a great deal of information that will still prove invaluable to the modern cattle farmer today, this text constitutes a worthy addition to collections of farming literature and is not to be missed by those with an interest in beef production. The chapters of this book include: 'The Function of Cattle', 'Position of Cattle in the System of Farming', 'Origin and Kinds of Cattle', 'Cattle Breeds', 'Breed Qualifications', 'The Purebred Animal', 'The Pedigree', 'Cattle Breeding', 'How Cattle Are Improved', 'Grading Up Beef Cattle', and much more. Originally published in 1920, we are proud to republish this antique text now complete with a new introduction on cattle farming.
