Publisher's 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.

I would give it 0 stars if I could

Not representative of farming practices. Narrater was hard to listen to.
Disrespectful of real farming practices in the first chapter. Author disregarded science of farming practices and did not understand the real compassion of farmers.
