Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. "Professor Jan C. Bonsma is known internationally for his knowledge of livestock ecology.

His high degree of accuracy convinced most observers that animals with low fertility could be identified visually." - Preface. [8], 93 glossy pages. Twenty-one black and white illustrations.
