Storey's Guide to Raising Beef Cattle, by Heather Smith Thomas

There's a reason why this is the definitive book on the topic:  it is clear, well written, and seems pretty comprehensive to my layman's eye.    It is also practical, which means that some of the photos, drawings and instructions address the realities of cattle that aren't covered in Disney films.   Personally, the section on sewing up a prolapsed cow bothered me more than the details of turning a bull calf into a steer.   Well, mostly.
