A must have for cow owners

If you are even thinking about getting into dairy cows this is the book to start with. There's so much good sound information and good to have incase power is out of internet is down.

Very Informative

The book starts with a very thorough and convincing case supporting the consumption of raw milk. The rest of the book goes through every step of owning, breeding, and milking a cow, plus calf raising and troubleshooting illness. It also has a section in the back with information on the anatomy of a cow and the various breeds. Very well-rounded book, and probably something for everyone whether beginner or not. Highly recommend!

My go to recommendation

If you are thinking about buying a dairy cow or new to owning one this is the book for you. It sums up everything you need to know to get started. So many books are geared towards large operations or go into overwhelming detail on subjects that should be their own book. It’s been 4 years since I bought my first diary cow and I have read countless books since, but this is still my go to recommendation.

Milk fever

This is a great book. The chapter addressing how to prevent and treat milk fever alone is worth the price of this book. The best book on dairy cattle that I have read.

ThisWas a great book it was a little more specifically towards just ...

ThisWas a great book it was a little more specifically towards just the Jersey breed. She continually references the Jersey breed and at times I thought it would have been beneficial if she had perhaps use more general references for all breeds or a greater variety of breeds.

Love this book

I bought this book to begin my journey of learning about cows for our homestead. I love the way this book is written, it’s very easy to understand and not boring. Lots of good nuggets of wisdom. I especially appreciated the history about how cows came to be a part of families for centuries and the thorough explanation of the cow industry today (appalling). Very much so would recommend this book to anyone looking for more education on having a family cow. Love this book.
