Too basic!
If you know nothing about cows, this might be the book for you. If you have ever been around or helped raise cows this will be too basic.
How to Raise Cattle
How to Raise Cattle was of little help if you are not knowledgeable about farming. There was very little detail about how to care for and market cattle. The author just kept referring you to your county extension agent for further information.
