Early to Rise , a Suffolk Morning by Hugh Barrett
Yesterday's Farm by Valerie Porter

They are both about farming years ago but are nice to read . I dont know where I got them but im sure they can be found on the interweb

Teagasc beef manual is an interesting read through and you can skip chapters without missing the plot.
Nuts is another great read, just dont follow all the advice.

Christ GC, I don't know if you can call that a farming book!

The three James Herriot books are very good; All Things Wise and Wonderful. All Creatures Great and Small and Vet in a Spin

Not in the conventional sense I suppose.
I was using a very loose definition.
Still worth a read though. :-)

then spent the early hours hunting back calves and wondering whether I had subconsciously written this book in an earlier life.
