Similar in scope to the wonderful "Beef Rings The Bell", the film focuses on how cows are brought to market, their feeding habits and their transport. Call me some sort of Cow fetishist, but I LIKE films about cows. Cows are so… cowish. Anyways, there's great shots of cows milling about, eating, and the way we are told of how cows are herded, corraled and transported to the packing plants is quite well shown. Again, we are spared slaughter shots, but a scene at the end of the film when the last cows are entering the plant and the worker closes the door behind them is quite sad. :( Reccomended!
