Caring for Cows
Caring for Cows
Author(s): Valerie PorterReprinted by demand, this book is a guide to cowkeeping with organic principles and the welfare of the cow at the top of the agenda - in keeping with the current thinking about humane agriculture.
Cows have traditionally been one of the most exploited of farm animals, and the author shows that they can still provide us with milk without the practices of overstraining the udders or of removing the calf when only days old.
Sensible information is also included on all aspects of looking after cows - feeding, housing, breeding, health, milking, choice of breed and of course dairy produce. Nor does the book evade the question of slaughter, but deals compassionately and practically with the subject.
