À propos de l?auteur

DR. ROBERT E. TAYLOR was raised on an Idaho livestock operation where several livestock species were produced. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Utah State University. This background, combined with a Ph.D. in animal breeding and physiology from Oklahoma State University, provided the foundations of his knowledge about livestock production. He worked with beef cattle, dairy cattle, horses, poultry, sheep, and swine during his career.

Dr. Taylor received teaching awards from Iowa State University, Colorado State University, the USDA National Excellence in Teaching program, and the American Society of Animal Science. Many of his concepts for effective teaching are utilized in this book. Dr. Taylor passed away in 1998.

DR. THOMAS G. FIELD was raised on a Colorado cow-calf and seedstock enterprise. He managed a seedstock herd of cattle after completing his B.S. degree.
