'Funny, insightful and hugely informative ... a charming book'
DAILY MAIL 'Tremendous ... We all need to take stock, and this is
the ideal starting point. I learnt a lot from this book and laughed
a lot too.' ROSAMUND YOUNG, author of The Secret Life of Cows Since
highland cattle ransacked his grandmother's vegetable patch when he
was six, Roger Morgan-Grenville 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 10,000
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 de-natured
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.
