Description

The story of our relationship with cattle is inextricably linked to the story of civilisation itself. Since the beginning, cattle have played a vital role in human societies, providing food, clothing, and a means of taming the wilderness. Their importance has only evolved over time, as human societies have shifted from rural to urban environments.

Through a blend of personal experience, recollections, and interviews with farmers, butchers, and cattle breeders, Philip Walling reveals the central importance of cattle to our lives. This narrative is enriched with little-known nuggets of technical detail, making for an entertaining and informative read.
