Cows can love, play games, bond and form strong life long friendships. They can sulk, they can 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's herd on Kite's Nest Farm in Worcestershire. A farm that has long been regarded as a trail blazer of the organic movement worldwide and inspiring many, including HRH Prince Charles, to take up the organic cause.

Review:
Without hesitation I would name this book as my book of the Year...this beautifully illustrated book is both a rhapsody and a practical handbook. I have not read anything remotely like it. --The Oldie Magazine

The sariest book I read this year was The Secret Life of Cows which applied Jane goodall's approach to champanzees to a species on the verge of extinction in Britain, the free-range domestic cow. The characters in Young's herd - kind, ingenious, affectionate, as strongley marked as you or me by individual likes and dislikes - make a travesty of the sickly, short-lived, mechanised beasts we have bred to replace them. --The Daily Telegraph

The Secret Life of Cows made me laugh out loud and moved me to tears. It should be required reading for every veterinary student, agricultural student and farmer in the world! --The Born Free Foundation
From the Publisher:
We should like to draw attention to Rosamund Young's video and DVD, Secret Life of the Farm, which effectively illustrates many of the issues and scenes described in the book. Rosamund spent five years recording the scenes and it is she who provides the commentary herself. Enjoy the glimpses into the ordinary everyday lives of cattle, sheep, hens and wildlife on her Worcestershire farm. You will see them actively making choices, expressing preferences, forming lifelong friendships, playing tag and seeking out plants for their medicinal benefits. A must for anyone who has ever considered the concept of animal sentience.
