Description
Award-winning author Temple Grandin is famous for her groundbreaking approach to decoding animal behaviour. Now she extends her expert guidance to small-scale farming operations.
Grandin's fascinating explanations of how herd animals think—describing their senses, fears, instincts, and memories—and how to analyse their behaviour, will help you handle your livestock more safely and effectively. You'll learn to become a skilled observer of animal movement and behaviour, and detailed illustrations will help you set up simple and efficient facilities for managing a small herd of 3 to 25 cattle or pigs, or 5 to 100 goats or sheep.
Temple Grandin's Guide to Working with Farm Animals is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand and improve their interactions with livestock.
