Beef Cattle Science


Book Description

Obviously not a book for vegetarians, though as Ensminger (Agriservices Foundation; Clovis, CA) and Perry (CA State U., Fresno) remind us: "All flesh is grass!" Since the 1987 edition, the beef industry's challenges have further calved despite additional cattle breeds: namely, The War on Fat, 1990, and several beef quality audits (prior to recent mad cow disease and E. coli scares--the former, but not the latter, is covered). Topics span: the history and business of cattle raising; nutrient requirements, health, behavior, genetics, and slaughter; weights and measures of animals and feeds; breed registry associations/periodicals; and US and Canadian colleges of agriculture.
