Customer Rating: 

This is a must read for anyone looking to raise cattle the right way, very insightful and to the point.

Customer Rating: 

Joel Salatin has affected so many people who want to raise clean food. Almost every book or web site that wants to restore agriculture to its natural fertility cites Joel's ideas. Much of what he has tried is specific to the conditions on his Virginia farm, but he is so inspiring that you can follow his example to find out what works on your farm, to innovate, and to look to Nature for the answers to your problems.

Customer Rating: 

Joel Salatin is the 'guru' of environmental farming. His ideas have been well developed and tested in his own 500 acre operation. Salad Bar Beef is an excellent read about making a profit from a small cattle herd.

Customer Rating: 

Joel tells it like it is. I am using his books to setup my farm. Great writing and as always informative.

Customer Rating: 

This 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). For this information, I recommend "American GrazingLands Services" run by Dr Gerrish of May, Idaho. From Joel, you will also learn how the farming economy is rigged and why it so difficult to make a living at farming. He is full of good ideas on possible helps and end-runs.
