the author introduces the importance of breeding in agriculture, emphasizing the need for farmers to approach livestock management with a clear goal to optimize their returns. Goodale discusses the economic aspects of animal husbandry and the principles guiding the selection of breeding stock, underscoring that profitable farming requires a careful understanding of both genetic and environmental factors.
