Description

Australia is the biggest beef exporter in the world. This title is a must for anyone interested in cattle. "Cattle Breeds in Australia" is a comprehensive, full-colour guide to the cattle breeds currently registered in Australia. It is a definitive and up-to-date resource. For each breed, there is an outline of its history and origin, current distribution within Australia, characteristics, economic factors and (where available) a contact address for further information. For most breeds, there are photographs of the bulls, cows and calves. A brief overview of the cattle industry in Australia, and its history, is given, as well as a list of useful contacts. A comprehensive list of the many breeds and varieties of cattle that occur throughout the world is also provided. "Cattle Breeds in Australia" will prove invaluable, not only for established cattle farmers, but also for students, small landholders, agricultural colleges and faculties, people working within the industry, and anyone else who has an interest in today's cattle sector.
