Not propoganda at all -- great to hear it firsthand 
This is a tremendous book, especially if you are considering changing your dietary lifestyle and are wondering what the harm in eating meat is. Since Howard was himself a "factory farmer" so to speak, he certainly knows what he's talking about.
A fairly good read 
Within the last half year, I read Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation". So, when I came upon this title, I was interested specifically in what a rancher has to say about the business of meat.Mr. Lyman is quite clear in his message, although he does become a bit preachy at times. For example, he decries the abuses of the "Zone" diet. While one may agree whole-heartedly with him, his argument goes on at length (a whole chapter). This book has made me think about my own diet and has moved me enough (with support from Schlosser) to give up eating meat. So while the writing is fair, the message is great.
A MUST READ!
This is a MUST read for everyone. I bought one book and came back for more as gifts for my love ones. Now I'm a vegan and healthier!
Everybody should read this book!
Mad Cowboy is written in a matter-of-fact, down-to-earth manner. It is very easy to read. It is extremely informative, and the beauty of it is that it comes from someone who undeniably knows what he is talking about. Everyone should read this book; people with BEEF license plates should be required to do so!
A real eye opener to factory farms!
It's been a while since I read this book. But I loved it and would like to get it to read it agian. I had already known many of the statistics mentioned in the book prior to reading it. The great thing about this book is the man who wrote it. Having had been in a family of farmers, watching it go from organic or natural with his grandfather and father and then using pesticides/antibiotics, etc. To see first hand what it did to him, the land and the animals. And to make such an amazing transition in his own life. Just remarkable! Makes you think that just about anybody could make such an amazing change!
