Beef Production In California Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Beef Production The magnitude and importance of the production of beef as a factor in American agriculture are not generally appreciated. The presentation of a book devoted solely to a discussion of the problems of the beef producer is an attempt to give adequate recognition to the industry. In "Beef Production" the attempt is made to present in the most direct manner certain facts of great economic importance to American beef producers. Much of the information given is based upon extensive feeding experiments conducted by the author at the Illinois Experiment Station. The arrangement of matter is designed to suit the demands both of the actual cattle feeder and of the student; to serve both as a ready reference guide - a text adapted to the progressive pedagogic presentation of the subject in the class-room and a treatise conveniently arranged in logical order for the general reader interested in the subject. The writer fully appreciates that the work is not as complete and comprehensive as it might be made; it is presented, however, with the thought that it will contribute to the literature, especially on the economic side, of beef production. It is hoped that it will serve to make beef production more profitable. The writer wishes to gratefully acknowledge the valuable suggestions and assistance given in the preparation of this book by his associate, Mr. L. D. Hall.
