This attractive, at-a-glance reference, written by one of America's foremost
livestock experts, covers 163 of North America's most significant breeds
of cattle, goats, sheep, and swine - from the common Guernsey cow to the
near-extinct Guinea hog. For each breed, Ekarius provides full-color photographs,
a brief history, and details about the breed's unique qualities,quirks,
& uses. Readers will enjoy reading about major breeds such as the
iconic Holstein cow, and Icelandic sheep, as well as hundreds of lesser-known
varieties, like the long-legged, ginger-colored Tamworth pig; the lilac-spotted
Jacob Sheep; the deer-like San Clemente goat; and the powerful, droopy-eared
Guzerat cow. Comprehensive, colorful, and captivating, this definitive,
in-depth guide is informative enough to aid farmers in breed selection,
