Newman Turner explores the connection between livestock health and farming practices. He demonstrates that healthy livestock begins with disciplined natural farming, and he provides the information to foster healthful and sustainable herdmanship.
In this book, Turner explains that livestock illness is a result of bad farming practices and that real livestock health begins with true natural farming disciplines. He covers topics such as composting, sub-soiling, and fostering biodiverse pastures with deep-rooted forages and herbs. He also advocates the avoidance of supposed panaceas that ignore or marginalize these fundamentals such as vaccines, pesticides, antibiotics and artificial fertilizers. He teaches that the cornerstones of profitability are rooted in: soil fertility and animal nutrition, cattle breeding for better feed efficiency, and cattle breeding for longevity. Longevity, he holds, is the most critical factor for success in livestock breeding and production. Featuring a new foreword by Jerry Brunetti.
