Cattle Kids

American Farm Bureau Foundation for Education Recommended Book

With a colorful and informative text, illustrated with action-packed photographs, Cat Urbigkit's book follows cattle kids through a year of ranching on the western range."Readers will come away knowing the differences between calves, heifers, cows, bulls and steers, as well as having a general picture of the annual rhythms of cattle raising." —Kirkus Reviews
