Cattle And Cattle-Breeders

By William McCombie, James MacDonald, William M'Combie

Book Overview

A clear, pragmatic invitation to the heart of a living legacy: a guide as timely today as when it first guided hands in the stable. Cattle And Cattle-Breeders opens a window into a workmanlike world where careful breeding, sound stock management, and steady farm practice shaped a nation's cattle and its economy. This volume stands as a concise, authoritative agricultural manual that blends cattle breeding practices with pragmatic farm management insights. It speaks to the farmer and livestock owner, the student of nineteenth century agriculture, and anyone drawn to the craft of traditional breed selection. Read as a complete cattle operations guide and livestock husbandry handbook, it blends practical instruction with the culture of victorian britain farming, offering enduring lessons for agricultural education resources and interested readers today. Historically significant, the text captures the wisdom of a pivotal era in 19th century britain cattle, reflecting a society where farming was both art and science. Its language, rooted in the era yet accessible, resonates with classic-literature collectors and curious casual readers alike who value authentic, well-preserved colonial and rural knowledge. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure that invites you to step into a traditional farmyard, to learn, and to admire a cornerstone of agricultural heritage.
