You do not need a herd to enjoy fresh milk and butter. This practical guide to keeping one cow covers the yard, stable, and rations, weaning the calf, building the barn, and handling the manure. Everything the single-cow household needs, in one tidy volume. Keep a family cow well and let her keep you.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
