 I've been looking for a good calf book for years and all I could find were the usual text books.  When I saw this in Dairy Farmer I couldn't beleive my luck so I ordered a copy.  It arrived within a couple of days and I was very pleased with it.  

It has a plastic cover which means it should be easy to keep clean, has a wire binding which means the spine won't break but most of all I have never seen this information presented so clearly.

I don't have time to read a lot (I should...) so this book is ideal.  It seems well sign posted, lots of pictures and useful check lists. 

I'ved used The Feeds Directory from Context for a while and loved it.  This book is a welcome addition to the office desk.  How about one on how to Feed Cows.
