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.
Exploring the emotional and intellectual lives of farm animals, this narrative offers a personal glimpse into Rosamund Young's experiences as an organic farmer. Through intimate observations at Kite's Nest Farm, she reveals the unique personalities of her animals, from affectionate cows to strong-willed sheep. Young shares lessons learned from her daily interactions, highlighting themes of joy, cooperation, and heartbreak. This tribute invites readers to appreciate the complex inner worlds of animals and the insights they provide about our own lives.
Be transported to the wild meadows of Kite's Nest Farm and peek into the surprising private lives of some of our most familiar of animals. A life-enhancing read from the author of the bestselling gem The Secret Life of Cows.

Jaké je to, být krávou? Podle autorky jsou krávy různorodé osobnosti stejně tak jako lidé. Jsou extrémně inteligentní, nebo naopak hloupé, umí být nudné, pyšné, agresivní nebo plaché. Dokážou milovat, hrát si, vtipkovat či vyjádřit před ostatními svůj smutek. Mluví o sobě, o počasí, diskutují, představují se nováčkům, líbají se. Stručně řečeno, krávy jsou stejné jako my, ale možná i dokonce morálně nadřazené... Rosamund Youngová dlouhá léta na své farmě krávy sledovala a nyní ve své knize přináší vzrušující pohled do jejich světa. Kniha se stala světovým bestsellerem.
