Product Information

From the Publisher

Homestead Cows by Eric Rapp & Callene Rap with endorsement by Jeanette Beranger

Breeds and Cow Selection

Breeds as we know them today developed from the specific needs of humans, the environment, and to a certain extent from the cattle themselves. There are breeds that excel at milk production, some that excel at meat production, some that are very good at both, and some that are very good at both and are good at making splendid oxen teams.

Information includes:

Breeds of Cattle
Dairy Cattle
Beef Cattle
Breed and Environment
Temperament
Selecting Breeding Stock

Handling, Transportation, and Infrastructure

No cow will go out of her way to hurt you. Most injuries come from being in the wrong place at the wrong time, not understanding how cattle think and react, not paying attention to what the cow is communicating, or trying to force a cow to do something that she isn’t interested in doing, for whatever reason.

Information includes:

Working Safely Around Cattle
Transporting Cattle
Fencing
Facilities and Equipment

Nutrition and Feeding

There are five major categories of nutrients: energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water. If any one of those is not present in sufficient quantities, the entire metabolic process will not function.

Information includes:

Major Nutrients
Concentrates
Choosing Quality Hay
Body Condition
Determining Supplemental Feed Needs

Reproduction in Cattle

Cattle are, of course, mammals — meaning they give birth to live young. These babies are precocial, which means they are born with their eyes open, are on their feet soon after birth, and traveling with their mothers very quickly.

Information includes:

Estrous in Cattle
Pasture Breeding
Puberty
Artificial Insemination

Calving

Cattle, and other animals, have a way of making you think that they are getting close to having their babies…only to give you another two weeks of sleepless nights worrying and checking and worrying again.

Information includes:

Stages of Labor
When Things Go Wrong
When to Rebreed
Calving Season
Care of the Newborn Calf

Raising Calves

The cow will now take care of increasing how much milk the calf gets and when it needs to be increased. She’ll also help teach the calf how to graze, eat grain and obey cow social structure.

Information includes:

If Mom Does the Work
Bottle Raising a Calf
Weaning from Mom
Buying a Calf for Beef
Bringing Home a Bucket Calf

Cattle Health

Focusing on preventative care will go a lot further than reacting when an animal gets sick. Even then, if one does get sick, your problem may not be as serious because you did not start out behind the eight ball.

Information includes:

Castration
Behavior and Appearance of Healthy Cattle
Antibiotics, Immunity, and Vaccinations
Common Health Problems in Cattle
Health Problems for Calves & Cows

Milk & Milking

Milk has been described as nature’s perfect food, and judging by the vast array of cheeses available, it certainly may be. There’s no doubt that it is one of our oldest foods, given that archaeological evidence has shown milk and milk product residue in some of the oldest known pottery artifacts.

Information includes:

How the Cow Makes Milk
Milking the Cow
Milking Equipment
Raw Milk
Milking Basics

Beef

There’s no hard and fast rule for when you should process your beef animal. A variety of factors have to be taken into account, such as the breed of cow, her age, the diet the cow has been on, and so on.

Information includes:

When to Process
Freezer Space
Beef Cuts

Cattle & The Environment

There is little doubt that the modern livestock industry does contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, but as with most other industries, the bulk comes from transportation factors, not the animals themselves.

Information includes:

Grassfed Beef
Grazing Systems
Grazing Behavior
Evaluating Pastures
Deciding Paddock Size
