Best Book on Raising Cattle
| 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. |
Great Resource!
| Customer Rating: | If you are like my family and want to step away from the agri-business model of farming then this book is a great resource. 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. Keep in mind...he won't tell you what kind of grasses to grow. Which I think is great, because you need to grow what is native to your area, not his.
These books are not just a great resource for raising salad bar beef, but also for marketing this unique product. That alone makes these books well worth the money. |
Holy COW!
| Customer Rating: | | 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! |
An excellent and green concept
| Customer Rating: | I 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", I did not mean that this book is complicated. Salad Bar Beef is actually one of the easiest agricultural books to comprehend.
Although easy to comprehend, you can not by any means read this book with a conventional mind. Pretend you do not know anything, and carefully consider Salatin's points.
If you begin reading this book and get the feeling that Salatin is strong in the way he presents his points, that's because he is. Many do not like being convicted, but the truth is, if you're never convicted, you never learn. Salatin makes his views clearly seen in his books, and every one of them are good and practical. Personally, I do not like reading a book in which the author is weak in his presentation of views.
I have never read agricultural books as good as the ones that Salatin has written, and I recommend them to anyone interested in farming naturally. The books are high-priced, but worth double that. Before long I will raise poultry and cattle using Salatin's methods, using Salad Bar Beef as a manual. Too bad I can't give Salad Bar Beef six or seven stars. |
An Excellent Book
| Customer Rating: | This 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.
