The Cattle Health Handbook 1st Edition

My husband and I love this book! I think every cattle farmer should own one!!

This book has been the most rewarding purchase in helping me learn and use while owning cattle. I've learned a lot from this book compared to others. Has a great amount of indepth knowledge.

Excellent book for any cattle rancher! The author, Heather Smith Thomas, has walked the walk and raised more than 6000 calves since 1967. A rancher herself Ms Thomas has produced a very practical and easy to read health handbook for raising cattle. Jammed packed with excellent illustrations, drawings and medical reference footnotes--this has to be the best cattle-health handbook on the market! My book is so worn and a little manure covered I'm purchasing a new one and the return on investment will be worth the hard cash outlay. My cattle are my children and it was so rewarding to find an author that feels the same way. Well written book and superbly published. Forget the other handbooks, I've read most of them--then a cattleman loaned me this book and I was amazed, gratefull and hooked! The sun will fade the cover and manure will stain the pages but your cattle will know they are loved and well cared for, not to mention the financial payback from reduced vet bills and your own stress! Thank you Amazon and please send Ms Thomas my kind regards and gratitude.

Should come in handy when you need to figure out what’s ailing your cattle Pretty descriptive and covers a lot of topics.

This manual covers everything ! It’s easy to understand and answers questions that arise every day and gets you a good starting point with solid results and answers. Very handy helpful. I am so glad I bought this book. A lot information at an affordable price. Fast ship too.

Gathering Notes is the easy part and the most important things (that I consider Important) I email to my dad. Being new to raising cattle, and living in a humid environment, is hard to keep up with every thing that is in the soil. Though the family started to own cattle about three years ago my parents are just have accepted the fact that the environment here on east Texas is very different than the hot-dry from their small town in Mexico. This book provides us with understanding and new methods besides only going to the vet. Looking forward to buying Essential Guide to Calving!

Great book to help with finding basic solutions to some cow issues and have an idea of health issues. It also gives advice for a healthy environment and diet for herds.

Great reference for pinpointing what cow might have and what to do about it
