It covers the techniques of feeding cattle, the dynamics of the cattle trade, and provides insights into specific breeds, particularly the Aberdeen and Angus cattle. "The opening of the text introduces McCombie's reflections on his heritage in cattle dealing, starting with his father and grandfather." He recounts their extensive networks and successful dealings in cattle markets, sharing anecdotal experiences that shaped his own journey into the business.
