An awesome book

This book is very informative and insightful. The pictures offer children a comprehensive look into life on a cattle farm. They go very well with the text, and therefore allow kids to picture what they are reading. A great gift for children of all ages!

Great Book

Living on a farm all my life, I found this book to be very insiteful. It would be a great book for young kids to help expose them on the day-to-day processes that transpire on a farm. There is a glossay in the back of the book to better clarify the vocabulary to the reader if he or she is unclear with the terminology. I can say that all the terminology used in the book is correct, and that some farmers use "old" hay for bedding instead of straw because it is a more economical practice. Also, the pictures in the book are very well taken. They are very clear and sharp and collaborate very well with the text to aid the reader in better understanding what occurs on a farm. I highly recommend this book to readers young and old who want to learn more about life on a cattle farm.

Great Book

Living on a farm all my life, I found this book to be quite insiteful myself. It would be a great book for young readers, who are not that well informed about farm life to become better adequated with the terminology and the processes that transpire on a farm from day to day. A correction to a previous review, where it stated that straw is used for bedding rather than hay. This is very true, but some farmers use hay as bedding because it is a more economic practice. I especially found the pictures to be very well taken. The pictures are very clear and go well with the text so young readers can identify with what is in the text. I highly recommend this book to anyone young or old who wants to see and learn more about life on a cattle farm.
