 Rating: - Best Book on Raising CattleThis is the single best reference for pasture-raised beef. Joel is an original thinker. Learn how to work with nature, minimize expenses and maximize profits and keep it healthy. About the only things that could have been stronger are more specifics on using movable hot fencing and plant management (over-seeding, how specific grasses and herbs work together).

Some parts are a little complicated as far as his method for tracking yields, but once you get the hang of it, it is quite an effective tracking method.

These books are not just a great resource for raising salad ... Read More Rating: - Holy COW!If it wasn't for bureaucrats farming with this method would be absolute heaven! This is an absolute essential read for anyone wanting to raise beef cattle. If your interested in creating a grass based business I would recommend reading "You can Farm" First! Rating: - An excellent and green conceptI recommend Salad Bar Beef to anyone in the country that wants to produce beef worth eating. Salatin is extremely open and honest about everything he does on his farm, and is very passionate about green farming. This book does not contain simple homesteading information; it is a manual on how to maximize profits, production, and soil fertility, while decreasing disease and stress(both cattle stress and farmer stress). When I said it does not contain "simple homesteading information", ... Read More Rating: - An Excellent BookThis book starts with the framework for grass finished cattle production, then looks at day to day operation, followed by some more detailed points and problem shooting, before closing with marketing. This is a great guide and an enjoyable read. I liked it better than Pastured Poultry, but both are great books for those interested in the future of the farm buisness. Ryan |
