You'll learn to become a skilled observer of animal movement and behavior, 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.

Color photos galore!

I wasn't expecting the whole book to be in color and full of great pictures. That was a nice surprise. This is a must read for anyone that owns livestock. It's very easy to read too and worth every penny.
