Field Guide to Plants Poisonous to Livestock - Western U.S.
"I am very impressed with the tremendous amount of careful research that went into Field Guide to Plants Poisonous to Livestock - Western U.S. This book should be very useful for livestock owners for years to come. As a former reference librarian, I am fussy about reference books, and this one is well-organized, with clear illustrations, and a lot of information about the effects on livestock of the many plants covered."
--Rosana Hart, author of Living with Llamas
"This is a book that every livestock owner and every veterinarian living west of the Mississippi should own and read."
--G. P. DeWolf, Jr., emeritus, Massachusetts Bay Community College, Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries.
"There are many lists of poisonous plants to be found in a variety of publications, but too often one is left with more questions than answers. How much must be consumed in order to cause harm? What parts of the plants are toxic? Are they likely to be attractive to my livestock? How can I reasonably protect my animals? Many of the answers to these questions and more are to be found in this little volume. You will want your vet to have a copy in his library too."
--Kinder Goat Breeders Association Newsletter
"This book should be required reading for all livestock owners . . . It is written for the layperson with no botanical background and is uniquely organized by leaf shape which provides for rapid identification."
--Bill Birk, retired instructor of Natural Resources, Spokane Community College and presently, a commercial llama outfitter in the Cabinet Mountains of North Idado, Inland Northwest Llama Association Newsletter
"Many of the featured plants are toxic to small ruminants and camelids, so this should be a handy reference for AASRP members."
--Mary C. Smith, editor, Wool & Wattles, the newsletter of the American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners.
