This book weaves together little moments of companionship--a human trying to cajole a mother cow to accept her newborn calf, a cow secretly burying biscuits in the backyard, a human biting a bull's tail, a cow kicking a human, a calf's nose being roped, humans, bulls, and cows walking together. These moments narrate the biography of companionship between humans and bovines.
