Summary "The Red Cow and Her Friends" by Peter McArthur is a collection of pastoral sketches written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted work depicts life on a farm, particularly focusing on the various farm animals and the mishaps involving them, especially the titular red cow, Fenceviewer I. Through a series of humorous anecdotes, the author explores themes of rural life, animal behavior, and the challenges faced by farmers. At the start of the collection, McArthur introduces readers to the struggles of caring for a sick cow, detailing the humorous attempts to diagnose and treat her ailments while reflecting on the challenges of animal husbandry. The narrative is filled with vivid descriptions of the cow's habits, the farmer's interventions, and the trials that come with livestock management.
