A must for all beef farmers.
Although i do not agree with every sentiment in the book on the whole this book is a must read. Every grassland farmer should study this book and then consider their own production methods. This book should be read in conjunction with Julius Ruechel's Grass fed Cattle. Amazingly these two authors do not reference each other but have adopted the same (or extremely similar) farming technique although from two different start points. Read them, then go and get some elctric fencing and have a play. I did and its working!

A must for anyone looking for new ideas on raising livestock
