For one of my Psych classes, I did a brief review of some Temple Grandin content. Thought her Guide to Working with Farm Animals was interesting (even if all of the information may or may not be utilized).

gosh theyre all really good IMO. Joel Salatin ive come to think has a strange singular genius so any of his books are just great. thoughts and advice from an old cattleman was the first i read long before i thought id be farming. that one has left the biggest impression b/c it was first. the two Lasater books are great storytelling. theyre all great and quick reads get em all id say. do you have any recs?
