Indispensable book for natural/organic livestock raising

We raise our animals naturlaly/organically. We had been searching for a book that would help us with our animals in such a way medically, if needed. A friend of ours, who has been doing what we're doing for decades, highly recommended this book, telling us it would become our farm "bible". After reading just a few pages of this, we quickly realized what she meant, and we have been reading from it and using it ever since. It is very clearly written, easy to understand, and a joy to use. The author gives a wonderful history of herbal medicines in a farm/livestock setting. She clearly explains how to prepare the herbs (in tinctures, poultices, etc.) for the animals. She breaks it down for the different animals as well. This book is a joy to own-- we're very pleased with our purchase.

Time-tested Approaches to Natural Healing for Animals.

Juliette Levy is a legend in the world of natural healing. Her courage in speaking out against the unnatural methods of raising dogs, cats and farm animals often brought her much criticism, but the practices set forth in her book have stood the tests of time and have saved many an animal that might otherwise have been lost. She offers not only an extensive list of plants and their uses, but also speific protocols for a variety of illnesses, all very clearly explained and laid out. She outlines specific dietary regimines as well, for the purpose of maintaining maximum health and supporting an ill animal through the healing process. I have personally used her methods with my own animals with great success. No serious herbalist or student of natural healing should be without it.
