This is a great book for any fledgling or experienced farmer wanting to produce quality beef. Joel’s tried and true methods of raising beef on 100% pasture, using intensive grazing methods are truly amazing. Please do not listen to the 1 and 2 star ratings from people who’ve never farmed or understand what he’s doing and get bent outa shape and their feelings hurt because Joel is strait forward and tells it like it is. Facts are facts people. If you can’t handle it, tough. If you’re gonna turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the current food situation, if you want to stubbornly listen to the food police ( usda ) and Tyson and the industrial agriculturalists agenda, then do so, at the cost of your health and that of your family. End of story.
