Descrição do livro
One of the smallest cattle breeds in the world has left behind one of the largest paper trails in livestock history. This is the story hidden inside it. The Dexter is a cow a family can keep on a few acres — and yet its history runs back through the wild aurochs, the cattle-law of ancient Ireland, the black mountain herds of County Kerry, and two centuries of herd books, breed societies, and scientific papers across three countries. History of Dexter Cattle follows every thread of that record back to its source, reading the earliest documents themselves rather than the hundred retellings that have grown up around them. What emerges is not the tidy origin tale the breed has long told about itself. It is a truer and more human one: a history of the people who kept the cattle, recovered from the names they wrote on their animals, the letters they left behind, and the institutions they built and rebuilt to keep the breed from being lost. Along the way the book takes up the hardest questions honestly — where the breed actually came from and who first gave it its name, and the single gene behind the short-legged Dexter and the lethal-calf arithmetic that shadowed the breed for generations before anyone could read it. Written by a working Dexter breeder who went looking for the people who kept the cattle before him, this is a documentary history for breeders, heritage-cattle keepers, and anyone who has ever written a small black cow into a book so she would not be forgotten.
