You might like to read the book 'The secret life of cows', by Rosamund Young, Faber & Faber, 2018 ISBN: 9780571345793. It's kind of a memoir about a farm which gives the cows a lot of choice about where to go and so on. A lovely anedcote about a cow anxious about a birth seeking out human help. I think of it as another perspective to add in alongside Salatin's ideas about bunching stock on pasture, well worth a read. There are a lot of behaviours which make sense that never emerge to be observed if the environment which allows those behaviours is missing in some sense.
