    Can anyone recommend a good book(s) on keeping a family dairy cow? I'm looking for one with all the how to's, taking care of, what breed is best, etc., in it.
    I looked at the "Storey's Guide to..." books on Amazon.com and they don't show any Storey books on having a family dairy cow. Storey has "Beef Cattle" and "Milk Goats", but no dairy cow. :(

    Does anyone on here keep a dairy cow for their own family's consumption? Would love to pick your brains! ;)

    Thanks for any insight you can give!! :)
