Cow Stories
Cow Stories
James Welch, Anne Welch
This collection of true stories chronicles the joys and challenges of raising Highland cattle in the beautiful, but sometimes harsh climate of Northern Vermont. Some of the stories are heartwarming. Others are heart-rending. All of them will broaden the reader's understanding and appreciation of cattle and the realities of breeding, managing, and caring for them. Like the stories, the photos in this book span nearly 40 years. All of the livestock pictured are from the authors' farm, photographed by three generations of their family.
Dr. James G. Welch is a Professor Emeritus of Animal Science at the University of Vermont. He raised Highland cattle on Owl Rock Farm in Franklin County, Vermont for almost four decades. He served on the American Highland Cattle Foundation Board of Directors for many years. He lives in Vermont with his wife, Lorri.
Dr. Anne S. Welch grew up listening to her dad’s cow stories. She enjoyed working with him to write the stories down so they could be shared with a wider audience.
