Customer Reviews

Serious Readers Only

Mr. Thomas deserves credit for researching and providing essential information for the cattleman who is serious about improving the efficiency of his operation. I have recently purchased and read several books on the subject, and while this is an older book, Beef Cattle Production: An Integrated Approach is head and shoulders above the others for reference material covering a broad spectrum of subjects. From sire and dam selection, disease control, reproduction of purebred, cross-bred and commercial cattle, to ranch layout, operational issues, financing tips and equipment concerns this book hits on them all. NOT for casual observers - its for the cattleman.

Excelent book!

The book presents the main points that intervene with the efficiency of the activity of beef cattle, as genetic, feed and reproduction. Indicated for beginning and veteran farmers that still desire to magnify its knowledge.
