I don't know anything about 52 varieties but I do know the free-range, organically-fed (meaning they roam people's gardens and eat what they please including magic mushrooms) local ones like to breed in my garden. They make a lot of noise at it too. And when they get old they get butchered by men with machetes and no idea of how to cut a fillet steak but still, its really great the cows lived how they pleased.

I'm watching Bizarre Foods-Jamaica right now. The guy is talking about how chicken and bull-foot soup with pieces of cow skin is a perfect marriage of collagen and fat and just delicious. I'd rather have the cows in the garden, screwing noisily, stoned on magic mushrooms than in a pot. ( )

I had no idea there were so many kinds of cow, or that cows could be so interesting. The author provides short but detailed summaries of 52 breeds, including a physical description, a drawing of both cow and bull, a description of their usefulness and a history of the breed. Peppered throughout are some very funny cartoon illustrations as well as random cow trivia -- for instance, Brahman cows do not moo but grunt. I think 9-to-12s with an interest in animals would like this as well as adults; there's plenty to go around. I've added the author's :A Field Guide to Pigs to my to-read list, in hopes that it will be as good as this one was. ( )

Why watch cows? At first the idea might seem foolish, but with about 100 million cattle in the United States, the lowly cow is one of the most numerous and popular animals around.
