Description

Since highland cattle ransacked his grandmothers vegetable patch when he was six Roger MorganGrenville has been fascinated by cows

So at the age of 61 with no farming experience he signed on as a part time labourer on a beef cattle farm to tell their side of the story The result is this lyrical and evocative book

For 10000 years cow and human lives have been intertwined Cattle have existed alongside us fed and shod us quenched our thirst and provided a thousand other tiny services and yet most of us know little about them We are also blissfully unaware of the denatured lives we often ask them to lead

Part history part adventure and part unsentimental manifesto for how we should treat cows in the 21st century Taking Stock asks us to think carefully about what we eat and to let nature back into food production
