Description
The Cow Book: A Story of Life on an Irish Family Farm
John Connell's family has farmed for generations, but he never intended to follow in his father's footsteps. Instead, he found himself back on the farm one winter, learning the ways of the farmer and the cows.
This is a story about the rhythms of farming life - from milking the herd to tending to sickly lambs - as well as the unexpected moments that can change everything: illness, depression, arguments, and more. It's also a story about the cow itself, tracing its history from ancient Egypt to modern times.
