We populate the countryside with cows the world over, and their unremarkable presence is familiar for its promise of milk, beef, and leather. Calm and friendly by nature, with a soulful gaze, the cow has been humankind's gentle companion for an incredible ten and a half thousand years. Cows are even venerated-or shunned-by different religions. But how well do we understand cows-their anatomy, their behaviors, and breed varieties? How can we review their place in culture past and present? For the first time this unique title The Cow: A Natural History offers a wide range of fascinating factual detail, going beyond a focus on husbandry to review the cow's fascinating biology, hard-wired behaviors, and its relationship with humankind.
