You don't need acres of land to keep a cow healthy, happy, and productive. You can raise one right in your own backyard, producing more than enough milk for a single family - up to six gallons per day! The Backyard Cow covers everything you need to know, from selecting the right breed to understanding your cow's behavior. With helpful advice on daily maintenance, milking, and bovine health care, you'll soon be enjoying the pleasures of fresh milk, yogurt, cheese, and much more.
