very interesting account of breed improvement, along with management practices, way back in 18th century. what is very interesting is the tradeoff he made between stall fed and grazed animals. today happy cow, happy milk moves a lot of farmers to organic grazed management practice as in Aarhus.

keep it up

Thank you very much for this excellent article - the first of your writings that I have stumbled across.

When it comes to 18th Century diaries I find myself continually reading and re-reading Casanova’s 12 volume l’Histoire de ma Vie.

Thank you once again.
