Summary

The rediscovered gem following a farmer's thoughtful and moving observations of her herd and the intelligence of cows.

Cows are as varied as people. They can be highly intelligent or slow to understand; vain, considerate, proud, shy or inventive. Although much of a cow's day is spent eating, they always find time for extracurricular activities such as babysitting, playing hide-and-seek, blackberry picking or fighting a tree. This is an affectionate record of a hitherto secret world.

Critic Reviews

i enjoyed the book but I'm an animal lover and open minded to green living. The author is definitely a bit of a greenie. While most of the points she makes are quite valid about how awful some farms are in the treatment of animals, at times it feels a bit over the top and like the greenie stuff is being rammed down your throat...

intersting read though and beautiful to see someone who treats animals with the dignity and respect as individuals, creatures with intelligence and family structures.

interesting read
