How cows communicate, how to understand and connect with them, and how they can help us understand the world. Martin Ott has documented his observations, experiences, and thoughts about cows. He addresses the deep yearning of people for a more respectful coexistence with farm animals. His texts serve as guides to an unknown land. Those who allow themselves to be taken along will discover astonishing things.

Martin Ott is a practitioner and a forward thinker. As a farmer, he has a particular interest in cows. His precise observations lead him to highly independent conclusions that any farmer can implement. The results are impressive: when one studies the life and communication of cows and provides them with a species-appropriate existence, both milk yield and animal health improve. Through care and understanding. For all his enthusiastic listeners—experts, radio audiences, and film viewers—Martin Ott has recorded his observations, experiences, and conclusions.

Philipp Rohner's images open up a new level of understanding of cows through their reduction. A visually powerful textbook addressing contemporary issues for anyone interested in time-related questions and respectful coexistence with animals.
