Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Heather Smith Thomas grew up on a ranch near Salmon, Idaho.

She is the author of 20 books and thousands of articles on animal health care. Her books include Essential Guide to Calving, Getting Started with Beef & Dairy Cattle, Storey's Guide to Raising Horses, Storey's Guide to Training Horses, The Horse Conformation Handbook, Care and Management of Horses, Stable Smarts, Understanding Equine Hoof Care, Beyond the Flames--A Family Touched by Fire, The Cattle Health Handbook and Storey's Guide to Raising Beef Cattle.

She began writing stories for children's magazines while still in high school and wrote articles for horse and farm publications to help pay her way through college (University of Puget Sound). She wrote her first book, A Horse in Your Life: A Guide for the New Owner, during the summer between her sophomore and junior year of college. She and her husband Lynn Thomas have been raising beef cattle and a few horses on their ranch in central Idaho since 1967. Most of her books and articles deal with horse or cattle health care, breeding, or handling. Her goal has been to learn all she can about the care of horses and cattle, and to share this with her readers. One of her books, however, discusses an entirely different subject. Beyond the Flames tells about her daughter's severe burn injury and how this changed their lives. For more information about that book, and updates on the Thomas family and their ranch life, see Heather's blogs at http://www.heathersmiththomas.blogspot.com and for short anecdotes about her experiences with some of the horses and cattle she has raised, see her author's blog at http://insidestorey.blogspot.com

Excellent book for any cattle rancher! The author, Heather Smith Thomas, has walked the walk and raised more than 6000 calves since 1967. A rancher herself Ms Thomas has produced a very practical and easy to read health handbook for raising cattle. Jammed packed with excellent illustrations, drawings and medical reference footnotes--this has to be the best cattle-health handbook on the market! My book is so worn and a little manure covered I'm purchasing a new one and the return on investment will be worth the hard cash outlay. My cattle are my children and it was so rewarding to find an author that feels the same way. Well written book and superbly published. Forget the other handbooks, I've read most of them--then a cattleman loaned me this book and I was amazed, gratefull and hooked! The sun will fade the cover and manure will stain the pages but your cattle will know they are loved and well cared for, not to mention the financial payback from reduced vet bills and your own stress! Thank you Amazon and please send Ms Thomas my kind regards and gratitude.

New to raising cattle

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

Gathering Notes is the easy part and the most important things (that I consider Important) I email to my dad. Being new to raising cattle, and living in a humid environment, is hard to keep up with every thing that is in the soil. Though the family started to own cattle about three years ago my parents are just have accepted the fact that the environment here on east Texas is very different than the hot-dry from their small town in Mexico. This book provides us with understanding and new methods besides only going to the vet. Looking forward to buying Essential Guide to Calving!

Absolutely love this book!! Bought it for my partner recently and now he always has a flick through it before he calls the vet!! And does a little night reading with it instead of scouring the internet for multiple and numerous nonsense ideas/answers!?! 🙄 This book is direct and on point, perfect for any farmer!!! 😍
