The Secret Life of Cows

Rosamund Young (author)

'A lovely, thoughtful little book about the intelligence of cows.' James Rebanks, author of The Shepherd's Life

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 extra-curricular activities such as babysitting, playing hide and seek, blackberry-picking or fighting a tree.

This is an affectionate record of a hitherto secret world.

Rosamund Young is the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Cows, which was named a Times Book of the Year. She farmed alongside her brother Richard until his recent, untimely death and now runs Kite's Nest Farm with her partner Gareth. Nature is left to itself as much as possible and the animals receive exceptional kindness and consideration. The farm produces beef and lamb from 100% organic, grass-fed animals which are sold in the farm shop.
