I have been a cattle rancher for over 30 years and this is the best reference book I have ever found to help me in my operations.
A GREAT up-to-date text for students or aspiring ranchers! December 29, 2003

If you are considering cattle ranching or producing beef in a feedlot this book will be invaluable to you or your students.I found the inclusion of general management advice to be especially valuable. The data provided to analyze the income potential of various types of production considerations also is appreciated. If you can buy only one book regarding beef production, buy BEEF PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. If you can afford a second book, purchase STOREY'S GUIDE TO RAISING BEEF CATTLE.
