TAKING STOCK: A JOURNEY AMONG COWS

Since Highland cattle ransacked his grandmother's vegetable patch when he was six, Roger Morgan-Grenville has been fascinated by cows. At the age of 61, with no farming experience, he signed on as a part- time labourer on a cattle farm to tell their side of the story. 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.
