Description
A thorough guide to 19th‑century dairy husbandry, this work brings together the latest knowledge on milch cow breeds, breeding practices, and the everyday challenges of keeping a healthy herd. Readers will find clear explanations of disease prevention, practical feeding regimes, and the cultivation of forage crops that sustain productive cows throughout the seasons. The author also translates and adapts European insights, notably the Dutch dairy system and Guénon’s method for selecting superior milch cows, making those techniques accessible to American farms.
Beyond theory, the book draws on the author’s hands‑on experience in cheese and butter dairies, offering concrete advice on managing calves, milking routines, and the transformation of milk into butter and cheese. Illustrated throughout, it serves both seasoned farmers looking to refine their operations and curious consumers who wish to understand the science behind the dairy products that reach their tables.
