Welcome to my thesis about dairy cow communication. This is one of the outputs, certainly the longest, from two years of visiting, contemplating and talking about what I experienced at dairy farms. The main method is fieldwork- but the fields are multiple. I wrote this thesis using a method of auto-ethnography, where I treat the me that writes as a field to be studied. The result is a thesis that has more to say about what it means to try to Listen to cows, rather than decipher what they are saying.
