A rare and unique history of how colonialism in southern Africa impacted cattle's subjective historical experiences. The book positions cattle as sentient, feeling beings in the narrative flow, and uses an animal-centered approach and diverse sources to investigate cattle’s felt experiences. The book explores major colonial impacts, including wagon labour, disease epidemics and veterinary infrastructure, the development of industrial slaughterhouses, and the expansion of modern breeding.
