Description: "Part of the joy and wonder of farming lies in the changing of the seasons: planting, calving, tilling, milking harvest ... As the seasons pass, any dairy or cattle operation will see its share of problems crop up as well, many with seasonal regularity. Acclaimed veterinarian Hubert Karreman calls on his nearly thirty years of experience in organic and holistic medicine to guide you on how to recognize, treat and prevent a year's worth of problems with your herd"--Back cover.
