I just finished reading <em>True Cow Tales: Literary Sketches and Stories by Farmers, Ranchers, and Dairy Princesses</em> edited by C. R. Lindemer. <em>True Cow Tales </em>is delightful anthology of bovine buzz that covers the ground with more than 45 stories and poems that let you in on what life with cattle is really like – and what the life of dairy princesses past and present is all about. Lindemer’s touch really brings the anthology to life with an organizational scheme that makes sense and connects several generations of agriculturists.</p>
<p>Read about the champion Simmental cow named Ruby whose reward was a handful of Oreos and a heart-warming tale of excess milk, cookies and the meaning of nei
ghborly. <em>True Cow Tales</em> will make you laugh, cry, think and just might make you feel good about being human. Inside these pages you will see what real bull is all about, you’ll learn about bovine love and butter-carton skirts, and you’ll experience the pain of losing the place you love. In <em>True Cow Tales</em>, cows have names like Patty, Dixie and Dawn – and some of them love to find holes in the fence and mix it up with their keepers.</p>
