In this breakthrough book subtitled A Farmer’s Guide to Low-Cost, Non-Toxic Veterinary Care of Cattle, Dr. Sheaffer passes along his hard-learned knowledge – in language, farmers can understand – of how to care for the herd in a healthy, holistic manner. Utilizing homeopathy – an effective, non-toxic form of medicine derived from herbs and other natural substances – and other healing alternatives, he will teach you to truly understand the cause behind a disease condition and how to treat the entire animal for that condition. Using case studies and practical examples from both dairy and beef operations, Dr. Sheaffer covers such topics as: creating a holistic operation; organics and homeopathy; prescribing; mastitis and fertility-related problems; and the Materia Medica, keynotes and nosodes. Also includes a convenient section that lists specific conditions and remedies. Whether you’re a beginning farmer of lifelong cattleman, this hands-on guide will prove to be nothing short of a revolution for your herd.
