"The economical production of beef cattle in most sections of the United States depends largely upon the investment in the durable, convenient, and practical buildings, as well as upon the care, feeding, and management of the herd. Barns suitable for the successful growing and fattening of beef cattle need not be elaborate nor overexpensive. Any unnecessary outlay of money invested in them adds to the overhead expense. Appearance, however, should not be neglected, since well-proportioned and well-designed barns may be constructed at very little, if any additional expense. Such barns add materially to the sale value of a farm property."--Page ii.
