I absolutely loved this book from the minute I started reading it. The fact that it's written from a cow's point of view seemed a little strange at first but very quickly I grew to love Princess.

A great read for any cattleman.

This is a great story. Wasnt sure about the cow thing but I think being told in the first person sets the character up really well.

Amongst it all, there is a parody somewhere, along the lines of - BELIEF CAN CONQUER ALL!
