Wait 'Til the Cows Come Home

Part biography, part chronicle of social life and customs, part memoir, the pieces in this collection draw heavily on Richard Triumpho's experiences as a farmer, but he also wrote for Hoard's Dairyman on a wealth of other subjects, including his trips to Russia, China, Switzerland and New Zealand. The essays here reflect the diversity of his interests, from artificial breeding in dairy cows to taking a banya (steam bath) in Siberia.
