Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Tired of cash flows that leave little money in your pocket? If you're feeding livestock in confinement rather than on pasture, you're working too hard and spending too much money. Your permanent pasture is a valuable resource that up till now has been wasted. Forget about how pastures are. Think of how they could be if they were managed with the same amount of attention that you give to your other crops. Voisin management intensive grazing takes into account the needs of both animals and plants, rather than animals alone. Its use can at least double or triple your pasture's productivity. This book explains why and how to use management intensive grazing, and what to expect from its use. It shows a way to simplify your farm operation, reduce its labor needs, increase its productivity, and improve your quality of life. | | | |

 Has what it takes! Dec 06, 2001
By Georgiana C. Kotarski
"Author of Ghosts of the Southern Tennessee Valley"
I'm reading this book for the third time - there's just too much info to digest in one reading. We are just starting with cattle and are using this book as our bible. It not only explains the many advantages of raising animals using managment intensive grazing (more profit, environmentally friendly, humane, better nutrition, ease of animal handling), it goes into great detail on HOW to do it. My husband used the chapter on fencing to select products that have received many positive comments from visitors to the farm. I especially enjoyed reading about pasture plant diversity and how cattle "harvest" it. Our cattle look (and taste) great, much to the shock of long-time cattle farmers in our community who are surprised that two greenhorns like us can do so well. We attribute our success to this book and highly recommend it.

 Great Book Jan 23, 2000
By William H R Davis
This is a really good overview if you are interested in pasture based livestock farming. With a lot of interesting facts about pasture ecology and euqlly fascinating detials about livestock production on pasture, I think Mr Murphy has put together a good book for livestock producers to use to become acquainted with pasture-based farming.

In depth information on rotational pasturing Feb 22, 2012
By CosmicCookout
If you're willing to delve into the nitty gritty, this book is the best possible primer for rotational grazing. It focuses on cattle, but once you understand how to manage rotational pastures, you can tweak the methods to suit other kinds of livestock.

excellent info, poor binding Jan 29, 2012
By literate farmer
This book is extremely well researched and organized, but I agree with the reviewer about the poor binding. One of the first pages fell out when I first started reading it! I am a book lover and treat them carefully, not having problems with this normally. I headed the problem off by being more careful after that, but it is definitely poor quality. Too bad, it gives the author a bad rap when he probably had nothing to do with it---the writing and info was COMPLETE. This book is not for the faint-of-heart or beginner. It is extremely thorough and deep reading. It was just what I was looking for, but not for everyone.
