Description
At 61, Roger Morgan-Grenville embarked on an unlikely journey to tell the story of cows. With no farming experience, he signed up as a part-time labourer on a beef cattle farm to gain a deeper understanding of these animals.
For 10,000 years, humans and cows have been intertwined, with cattle providing us with food, clothing, and other essential services. Yet, despite their significant impact on our lives, many of us know little about the de-natured lives we often ask them to lead. Taking Stock is a thought-provoking book that challenges us to think carefully about what we eat and how we treat cows in the 21st century.
Part history, part adventure, and part manifesto, this lyrical book invites readers to reconsider their relationship with cattle and the natural world. A fascinating and informative read, Taking Stock is a compelling exploration of our connection with these remarkable animals.
