Summary

To translate the journey from a living cow to a glass of milk into tangible terms, Gillespie set out to follow the moments in the life cycles of individual animals. In following the cow with ear tag #1389, she explores how the seemingly benign practice of raising animals for milk is just one link in a chain that affects livestock across the agricultural spectrum. Readers will travel to farms, auction yards, slaughterhouses, and even rendering plants to learn how living cows become food. -- adapted from back cover
