In this unique book, Yann Arthus-Bertrand presents some of the most spectacular and prize-winning examples of domestic livestock in the world, posed with their owners, breeders, or trainers at agricultural shows in France, England, and Argentina. Looking at these photographs leaves one in awe of the magnificent features of these animals, some of which will be familiar to most readers while others are quite rare and are not known beyond the region where they originated. One of the most appealing aspects of these photos is the presence of the animals' human companions, all of them proud to be presenting these creatures to the camera. An essay by Claude Michelet supplements the photographs as well as provides detailed information on the various animals and breeds.
