Fårens hemliga liv : visdomar och hjärtevärmande anekdoter

AvRosamund Young

Inbunden, Svenska, 2024

219 kr

När vi pratar om att människor kan bete sig fåraktigt utgår vi från att alla får beter sig likadant. Det stämmer inte med min erfarenhet. Vissa är tillgivna, andra benägna att stångas. Några är envist självständiga, andra söker hjälp från oss när de behöver det. Och vissa kan få uppdraget att leda hjorden hem. De är lika mycket individer som vi är.

Rosamund Young har drivit ett ekologiskt jordbruk i Costwolds i över fyrtio år. Här berättar hon om ett långt liv i djurens tjänst och delar med sig av anekdoter från det rika djurlivet på Kite s Nest Farm där fårens, kornas, hönsens och grisarnas personligheter får frodas och utvecklas fritt. Det är en berättelse om glädje, upptäckter, samarbete och ibland hjärtesorg. Vi får läsa om får som skäms över att bli gamla, intelligensen hos förment dumma höns, konversationer mellan kor och varför man aldrig ska skicka ett sms när man mjölkar ...

ROSAMUND YOUNG driver ett ekologiskt lantbruk med gårdsförsäljning i England. Hon har tidigare givit ut Kornas hemliga liv (2018) som blev en oväntad succé.

"en ljuvlig bok att dyka ner i En sak är säker, efter att du läst den här boken kommer du ha en annorlunda syn på får." DAILY MAIL

"Den är ett bevis på kraften i långsamma observationer, och det är en lärdom för oss alla." SUNDAY TIMES

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SECRET LIFE OF COWS'Elegiac, funny, warm and wise, The Wisdom of Sheep will delight country folk and city dwellers alike.' KATHERINE MAY'A wonderful antidote to the hectic pace of modern life.' JAMES OSWALDWe talk about people behaving like sheep, which assumes that sheep all behave in the same way. That has not been my experience.Some are affectionate, others prone to head-butting. Some are determinedly self-sufficient, others seek our help when they need it. And some can be trusted to lead the flock home. They are as individual as we are.Farm animals are familiar to us from childhood stories, but little did we know that their inner lives are full of complexity, deep bonds and family dramas. Rosamund Young has been an organic farmer for over forty years and this is her record of a life at the beck and call of the 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 . . .'Delightful.' ALAN BENNETT, ON THE SECRET LIFE OF COWS
