Description

Award-winning author Temple Grandin is famous for her groundbreaking approach to decoding animal behavior. Now she extends her expert guidance to small-scale farming operations. Grandin’s fascinating explanations of how herd animals think — describing their senses, fears, instincts, and memories — and how to analyze their behavior, will help you handle your livestock more safely and effectively. You’ll learn to become a skilled observer of animal movement and behavior, and detailed illustrations will help you set up simple and efficient facilities for managing a small herd of 3 to 25 cattle or pigs, or 5 to 100 goats or sheep.

An excellent reference book. I love the matter of fact details and the images throughout this book. A lot of points that made me think "Why didn't I think of that?" and others that just made such good sense. We have played around with having some goats once we retire, and this book will be perfect to get us on the right track. Dr. Grandin has such a wonderful way about her, and her ideas and tips are well worth the cost of this book. Highly recommend this book and author. If you have a small farm or a hobby farm, or just like farm animals, this is the book for you.

A fantastic resource for anyone who works on a farm - or just anyone who works with animals in general. Temple Grandin is a pioneer for the ethical and humane treatment of farm animals, especially those that will eventually be eaten.
