About This Book
The work surveys the history, economics, and practical science of beef cattle production, tracing origins and introduction to the Americas before focusing on Louisiana's rich alluvial pastures and their advantages for raising cattle. It reviews the shift from free-range grazing to fenced pasture, the improvement of breeds, feeding and finishing practices, disease prevention and control, and market and financial considerations, and offers practical recommendations for breeders and land managers while presenting statistical evidence and agricultural principles to support increased productivity.
