THE SECRET LIFE OF COWS

<p>On Rosamund Youngs organic farm, cows live in family groups, rear and wean their own calves, and have personalities and names. Having lived and worked alongside generations of animals and observed their interactions with each other and with humans, Young tells the cows stories and offers a glimpse of what goes on in the lives of ordinary bovines as they pursue their daily routine. With a foreword by Alan Bennett.</p>

The Secret Life of Cows

Cows can love, play games, bond and form strong, life-long friendships. They can sulk, hold grudges, and they have preferences and can be vain. All these characteristics and more have been observed, documented, interpreted and retold by Rosamund Young based on her experiences looking after the family farm's herd on Kite's Nest Farm in Worcestershire, England. Here the cows, sheep, hens and pigs all roam free. There is no forced weaning, no separation of young from siblings or mother. They seek and are given help when they request it and supplement their own diets by browsing and nibbling leaves, shoots, flowers and herbs. Rosamund Young provides a fascinating insight into a secret world - secret because many modern farming practices leave no room for displays of natural behavior yet, ironically, a happy herd produces better quality beef and milk.
