The Theory and Practice of Cattle Breeding

This special re-print edition of Warfield's "The Theory and Practice of Cattle Breeding" is considered one of the most important works ever published on breeding cattle of al types and breeds. First published in 1889, this important work on cattle, has not seen the light of day since its early publication. Chapters include Cattle Breeding a Science and An Art, Heredity - The Breeder's Cornerstone, Atavism or Reversion, Prepotency, Variation, Application of Breeding Theory Put Into Practice, Inbreeding, Linebreeding, Natural Breeding, The Historical Testimony on Breeding Methods, Cross Breeding, Grade Breeding, Pedigrees, Introduction to the Practice of Breeding Methods, The Selecton of Breeding Animals and much more. Not only a great book on the practice of cattle breeding, but in our opinion, a valuable textbook for the breeders of all types of animals. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
