Description
Herdsmanship by Newman Turner explores the foundations of ranch profitability, focusing on the critical factor of longevity in livestock breeding and production. Turner argues that livestock health is rooted in natural farming disciplines, such as composting, biodiverse pastures, and sub-soiling, rather than conventional practices like vaccines and pesticides. The author contends that bad farming practices can lead to livestock illness, and that adopting true natural farming methods can improve animal health and increase profitability. This book delves into the importance of soil fertility, animal nutrition, and cattle breeding for better feed efficiency and longevity. Turner's approach provides a practical guide for those seeking to improve their livestock operations and adopt more sustainable farming practices.
