WISDOM OF SHEEP AND OTHER ANIMALS (PB)

Farm animals have inner lives full of complexity, deep bonds and family dramas. Rosamund Young has been an organic farmer for over forty years. This is her record of a life at the beck and call of her animals while observing and preserving the abundant wildlife at Kite's Nest Farm. It is a story of joy, discovery, cooperation and sometimes heartbreak. We learn about sheep growing old disgracefully, the intelligence of supposedly 'bird-brained' hens, 'conversations' between cows and why you should never send a text whilst milking.
