Private Life of Cows - BBC 2 Wed 7th July 2010

Jilly Greed updates ....

BBC have confirmed that Private Life of Cows presented by Jimmy Doherty will be transmitted tomorrow on BBC 2 Wed 7th July at 8 pm.

The programme sets out to prove cows are highly intelligent, make lifelong friends, can be hard wired to fear and flight zones but deserve affection and respect.  At least we hope this will be the outcome, with some positive pr to counter public perception and lack of understanding.    Some cows are more special than others, with Poplin, Privet and Violet top of the tree, as the experiments reveal the star performers, the tear and tantrums and a death wish for my husband’s favourite, but thoroughly evil cow, Lichen.

Inevitably we have put ourselves in the firing line but hope Private Life of Cows will provide a much deeper and affectionate insight.  Most of all we hope people will see how much farmers care for their cattle and how beautiful, beguiling and intelligent cows really are.  You cannot help but fall in love!
