Raising cattle in the 21st century can be a complicated process. Starting with the way you feed your cattle, you need to know exactly what is best both for your animals and the milk and meat they produce. With the public conscious slowly turning more toward organic food choices (with as much as a 15 percent boost in organic beef sales since 2005 according to the USDA), there are numerous reasons why deciding to grass feed your animals can be not only an effective means of feeding your cattle, but also a way to make more money in the long run. This book will guide you through the process of knowing exactly how to switch your methods to effectively raise your cattle on grass feed. You will learn the essential basics of raising your cattle with natural feed and care sources, including how the farming shift in this millennium has changed how things are done. You will learn the various differences between raising cattle for milk and meat production and what you can expect from your cattle. You will learn how to improve your overall farm efficiency while ensuring natural feeding, and how to start analyzing your soil to better improve your livestock and their lifestyle. You will learn the basics of breeding, heredity, the environment you should raise your livestock, and what feed requirements your animals all require. Dozens of interviews have been conducted with top small farmers and cattle experts and their insight have been included here to help you learn how to properly house your cattle and rear their young, as well as the vital minerals, vitamins, and nutrients your cattle need to be healthy and produce high-quality meat and dairy. You will learn the basics of cattle health care and what you can expect from your livestock. Finally, you will learn some of the most common misconceptions about raising cattle and how you can overcome them. This book, for anyone seeking to raise cattle on grass, is ideal for getting a small farm started or renovating an existing farm.

A few years back we lost our beloved pet dog Bear, who was not only our best and dearest friend but also the Vice President of Sunshine here at Atlantic Publishing. He did not receive a salary but worked tirelessly 24 hours a day to please his parents.
Bear was a rescue dog who turned around and showered myself, my wife, Sherri, his grandparents Jean, Bob, and Nancy, and every person and animal he met (well, maybe not rabbits) with friendship and love. He made a lot of people smile every day.
We wanted you to know a portion of the profits of this book will be donated in Bears memory to local animal shelters, parks, conservation organizations, and other individuals and nonprofit organizations in need of assistance.
Douglas and Sherri Brown
PS: We have since adopted two more rescue dogs: first Scout, and the following year, Ginger. They were both mixed golden retrievers who needed a home.
Want to help animals and the world? Here are a dozen easy suggestions you and your family can implement today:
- Adopt and rescue a pet from a local shelter.
- Support local and no-kill animal shelters.
- Plant a tree to honor someone you love.
- Be a developer put up some birdhouses.
- Buy live, potted Christmas trees and replant them.
- Make sure you spend time with your animals each day.
- Save natural resources by recycling and buying recycled products.
- Drink tap water, or filter your own water at home.
- Whenever possible, limit your use of or do not use pesticides.
- If you eat seafood, make sustainable choices.
- Support your local farmers market.
- Get outside. Visit a park, volunteer, walk your dog, or ride your bike.
Five years ago, Atlantic Publishing signed the Green Press Initiative. These guidelines promote environmentally friendly practices, such as using recycled stock and vegetable-based inks, avoiding waste, choosing energy-efficient resources, and promoting a no-pulping policy. We now use 100-percent recycled stock on all our books. The results: in one year, switching to post-consumer recycled stock saved 24 mature trees, 5,000 gallons of water, the equivalent of the total energy used for one home in a year, and the equivalent of the greenhouse gases from one car driven for a year.

For my parents, for Gwen Mills, and for everyone who offered me a sandwich or a couch during the Great Recession.
Author acknowledgements
To write this book, I needed a ton of help from a lot of smart people.
Thanks to all the farmers, foodies, researchers, and professors who granted phone interviews, double-checked chapters, or invited me out to see how its done. Carrie Balkcom of the American Grassfed Association answered more than a few phone calls and e-mails. So did Alan Yegerlehner, Joe Horner, Lee Meyer, and Greg Halich.
Hands down, the person I relied on the most was my dad, who was always there when I needed to know something about cow placenta or spontaneous hay combustion. My favorite part of this project was going over stuff like this at the picnic table on the farm. Thanks, Dad.
And thanks to Mom for reading to me in the first place.
There were people in my hometown, or people passing through, who helped me in my efforts to get my facts straight: Kyle Hardesty, Kristy Kibler, Eric Hawkins, and Andy Mills.
I also owe a shout out to anyone who ever opened an e-mail titled Can you read this? The list is long but distinguished: Ryan Clark, Taylor Loyal, Kate Corcoran, Erica Walsh, Rebecca Coudret, Joni Hoke, Ryan Reynolds, Linda Negro, Charlene Tolbert, Steve Arel, Jamesetta Walker, Rob Kaiser, Travis Bradford, Brandon Mattingly, and many others Im sure I left out. Thanks, too, to all the English teachers and journalism professors who whipped me into shape in Meade County and at Western Kentucky University, and to every editor Ive ever had.
A lot of people went out of their way to help me out, which made writing this book fun and informative. I hope you find reading it to be, too.
