Successful management of a stock ranch today requires a thorough, specialized knowledge of the land, the livestock, and the financial methods involved.

The various natural regions of the West are surveyed and the types of ranches found in each section are described.In addition to considering in detail everyday ranch problems, the author realistically discusses the long-range problems confronting western stock ranchers as a group. Photographs, tables, sample accounting forms, and actual case illustrations add greatly to the usefulness of the book.Owners and operators of stock ranches, persons planning to enter the business, professional agriculturalists specializing in credit, marketing, or management, and teachers of courses in ranch management and economy will find this an invaluable reference or text.
