Is your cow built to make milk, or just to eat? Roberts teaches the dairyman to read the dairy type, choose a pure-bred sire, and feed for the pail. He weighs intensive dairying against the by-product kind and explains why milk tests vary. Practical, opinionated advice for turning a herd into a paying dairy.

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.
