If you’re ready to take care of animals like you mean it, we’ve put together the most comprehensive guide of never-before shared knowledge.
You moved out to the country because you wanted to be self-sufficient. You've read the books. You've watched some YouTube. You've got grit and land and a desire to do things right.
What happens when your cow goes down and you have no idea what you're looking at?
Most people panic. They call the vet (if there even is a livestock/dairy vet nearby), they get a bill and they feel helpless.
And the worst part? Half the time, if they'd just known what they were looking at they could've handled it themselves.
That's the gap. And it's not your fault it exists.
Nobody teaches this stuff. Not really. The books are written, in theory, for commercial operations. The YouTube videos stop right before the part you actually need. So you're winging it. With a living animal. On a timeline that doesn't care how new you are.
It’s almost guaranteed you’ll have a vet bill of thousands and also a dead cow.
That knowledge gap between you and the nearest farm vet isn't just inconvenient. It's expensive. It's devastating. And it doesn't have to exist.
There's a better way.
DrK has been a holistic dairy vet for over 30 years. He's seen everything. Milk fever at midnight. Retained placentas. Calves that won't nurse. Cows that won't eat. Emergencies that look scary but aren't. And emergencies that look fine until they aren't.
Real situations on real farms. Real animals, real problems, real decisions and real outcomes explained in plain language, on camera, so you know exactly what you're looking at when it's your turn.
It's searchable. There’s printable content for your barn binder. It works at 3am. And unlike your nearest farm vet, it's available right now.
WHY THIS IS FOR YOU:
BOOKS DESCRIBE. THE MANUAL SHOWS.
You can read 300 pages about milk fever and still not recognize it when you're staring at a downed cow. Seeing it on video, with commentary from a vet and experienced farmer who have treated hundreds of cases, is a different category of knowledge entirely.
THE INTERNET LIES. THE MANUAL DOESN’T.
Facebook farm groups are full of confident people who are confidently wrong. Dr. Karreman has 35 years of clinical practice and a farm that runs exactly like yours. The difference between his advice and a stranger's is the difference between saving your animal and losing it.
EMERGENCIES DON’T SCHEDULE THEMSELVES.
The vet call you need at midnight on a Sunday will cost you hundreds for the emergency visit alone – if you can even get one out. The Manual is the knowledge that helps you handle what you can handle, so you know when you actually need to call. The Manual also talks about how to be a good client and have a good relationship with your vet. Vets are absolutely important, but they probably won’t be there to save you on a Sunday night.
WHAT YOU'RE GETTING:
Not a course. Not a book. A Manual.
The Stockholder's Manual is a living, digital resource built by Dr. Hubert J. Karreman, VMD, and Suzanne Karreman of Reverence Farms who own a working 60+ cow regenerative dairy in North Carolina that runs more like your homestead than any commercial operation.
It's a digital resource and a printable manual in one. Inside you'll find over 250 video case studies of situations you are actually likely to encounter filmed on real farms, with real animals, in real emergencies. Not staged. Not theoretical. Not written by someone who last touched a cow in the 1990s. And every time they add new case studies and how-tos, you get them automatically.
Nothing like this has ever been built. There is no other resource in the world that attempts to be this comprehensive, this visual, and this grounded in the reality of small-farm livestock husbandry. We're not being dramatic. We looked.

Calving, lambing & kidding (including difficult presentations)

More than we can list...
WHO BUILT THIS:
The vet your grandpa would’ve called.
Dr.K spent decades in the trenches with organic and holistic livestock – not in a lab, not writing theory, but on farms. Real ones. Big ones and small ones. Farmsteads that look like yours.
He’s written books. He consults with farms across the country. He has spoken on stages around the world. And when he and Suzanne built the Stockholder's Manual, they built it because they were tired of watching good homesteaders lose good animals to problems that were entirely solvable – if only they'd known what they were looking at.
The knowledge gap between you and someone who's done this for 30 years just closed.
ONE PAYMENT. LIFETIME ACCESS. NEW CASE STUDIES ADDED AUTOMATICALLY.
It's the closest thing to having a holistic farm vet on call, forever, without the invoice.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING
Let’s address the skeptic in the room:
"I've got books. I don't need a digital product."
We love books too, but your books will tell you what milk fever is. The Manual will show you what milk fever looks like when your 1,200-pound cow is down in the mud at dusk and you have fifteen minutes to make a decision. These are not the same thing. Nobody in the history of agriculture has read a textbook and then successfully eyeballed a subclinical ketosis case for the first time. Seeing it on video, with commentary is categorically different from reading about it.
Sure we are all trying to be on our phones less, that’s why you bought dirt. But when your cow goes down, your screen time goes up substantially googling, YouTubing, “talking” to AI, rummaging through Facebook advice (please don’t) – all when you could just use the search tool inside the Manual, watch a 5 minute video and be done on your phone.
“I’ll just call my vet”
Great plan. Your vet will love hearing from you at 11pm on a holiday weekend. And when the after-hours emergency call costs a couple hundred $$ before they've even looked at the animal, you'll wish you already knew whether this was a real emergency or something you could handle yourself. The Manual teaches you to know the difference. That's not replacing your vet. That's being a better steward so your vet can focus on the cases that actually need them. We have testimonials where people have saved 4-5 vet visits already, and their vets will now talk to them like peers and leave them prescriptions to have on-hand. This is the stuff that lights us up. This is what changes the countryside. We can’t live a pastoral life of our dreams if we are burying livestock. These are the skills that actually make the life you want possible.
“I can find all of this on YouTube for free.”
You can find someone's uncle trying to treat a cow on YouTube, yes. But when your animal is in pain and circling the drain, you don’t have 4 hours to peruse YouTube to find something you hope is the answer. Yes, you can also find 482 conflicting opinions in a Facebook group. What you cannot find, anywhere, for any price, is 250+ case studies assembled by a vet & farmer team with 30+ years of experience, organized specifically for the homesteader and small farmer, updated continuously as new cases arise. We genuinely looked. Nothing like this exists. This is it.
“It’s a lot of money just for dairy cow information. I have a variety of animals.”
This Manual is for anyone who has livestock. Most of the discussion is about cows, and some sheep, but all of the treatments are applicable to farm animals generally. This is not some theoretical guide. This is nitty-gritty, in-the-trenches stuff from a veterinarian and a dairy farmer who have together been in this for more than five decades. This is a steal at this price. This is easily a $1000 eduction. And it's true worth is whatever your animal is worth to you. It can save their life.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Nothing like this has ever been built. Nothing.
No one else has attempted to create a video-based, vet-built, homestead-focused case study library of this scope. Not the extension office. Not the land-grant universities. Not any publisher. Not anyone on the internet. Reverence Farms did it, because someone had to.
You got into this life because you wanted to do it right. To actually know your animals, take care of them, and not lose them to ignorance. The Manual is the resource that matches that commitment.
INSTANT ACCESS. PRINTABLE SECTIONS. AUTOMATIC UPDATES FOR LIFE.
Built by farmers, for farmers. When you buy the Manual, you're supporting a family farm in North Carolina that exists to help operations like yours succeed. This isn't a course company. This is Reverence Farms.

Disclaimers: This Manual does not replace veterinary advice, and is not meant to diagnose or treat disease. It is for educational purposes only. If your animal needs help, your local veterinarian is still your best ally and some situations require a veterinarian no matter how prepared you are. Although every attempt has been made to cover situations in a multi-factorial way with many possible treatments and outcomes shown, we cannot possibly cover every issue that could come up with your livestock. It is our goal to make you better prepared in every situation you face, and a better advocate for your animal. Dr. Karreman is happy to speak with your veterinarian directly about non-antibiotic, non-steroidal and non-hormonal treatment plans as part of his mission to make modern veterinary medicine inclusive of natural and plant-based methods. He does not exclusively advocate for natural medicine, as there are cases where the life and health of the animal requires modern pharmaceutical care.
WHO WE ARE SHOWS IN OUR DAILY DEVOTION
Reverence Farms is a different kind of dairy. Our cows are mothers. We milk them alongside their calves on pastures we tend like gardens. They gift us sunshine in a glass.
The herd has been hand-selected for decades to perform this sacred task. Beyond producing A2A2 grass-fed milk, our cows are also raising the next generation of well-mannered Jersey sires that are up for the task of rebuilding dairy from the soil up.
Just as the family milk cow is the center of the homestead, dairy farms are tender organisms historically at the center of communities. We stand on the shoulders of those who have heeded the call before us, and humbly teach the next generation the husbandry needed to refresh the soul of family-scale, pasture-based dairy as the bedrock of stable, vibrant and vital rural economy.
