Cattle Throughout History

Where do dairy products come from? Cows, of course. Cattle have come on a long journey with us, from pastoral times to settled agriculture, from the New World to post-industrialism.

Cattle have shaped human societies for millennia, figuring prominently in the lives and imaginations of the cave dwellers of Paleolithic Europe, the farmers of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, and 19th-century Australia, South America, and the American West, to name but a few.

This week, we continue celebrating Dairy Month with a look at cattle throughout history.

TTFN, Fred.
