SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book is for the growing number of people seeking to make a Tree Change to fulfill a life-long dream of owning a small parcel of land on which to run some livestock. The book assumes no prior experience with cattle and covers everything from stocking rates, types of cattle available and fencing needs, to vaccination requirements. The smaller, quieter breeds of lowline cattle have particular appeal as they are more manageable and cheaper to control and maintain."--Provided by publisher.
