The Secret Life of Cows: Animal Sentience at Work
by Rosamund Young£7.99 paperback Farming Books and Videos (2005)
Cows can love, play games, bond and form strong life-long friendships. They can sulk, hold grudges, 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.
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 where 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 methods leave no room for displays of natural behaviour.
The Secret Life of Cows is not only a study of family and herd relationships, communication, grieving and playing but makes for a highly readable and poignant study littered with anecdotes that will make the reader laugh, wonder and reflect. Certainly it will make you look at the domestic cow in a different light.
