Communicating with Cows - from the Cow School in Switzerland

I was gathering stories two summers ago about people who have deep connections with cows and stories to share that show their personalities and emotional lives and bonds, and discovered the incredibly brilliant and intuitive Anne Wiltafsky who founded the Kuhschule (Cow School) just outside of Zurich. Here is an excerpt of an interview with her talking about her connection with one of the cows.

As part of the One Language Project, an ongoing gathering of stories of interconnection with other species, Miranda Loud interviewed Anne Wiltafsky of the Cow School (Kuhschule) near Zurich, Switzerland in the summer of 2013. She shares her motivations and observations and why she devotes her life to helping people understand the emotions and capabilities of cows. Help us complete the editing of this project and tell more stories of connections with other species.
