Lame duck, lame horse, lame vet, lame cows. Sandra Chesterton has been listening to "lame stories" for half a century. Now she has written them and arranged them for you to enjoy. "Lame Stories" from the mouth of Neil Chesterton, who introduces himself as "The Vet from Inglewood," tells how starting in South Africa and growing up in Sydney he came to New Zealand as a new vet. There he meets farmers who desperately need help too many of their cows are getting lame. With a desire to help people and cows he sets out on a journey to translate anecdotes and surveys into useful scientific answers for farmers, joining the world experts on lameness in dairy cows mostly by just listening and taking note. What he learned in New Zealand about these cows took Neil all over the world sharing and collecting lame stories. Stories about dairy farmers, vets, professors, friendly cows, people met on the way and even on a short detour into aid work. It is quite a journey - by car, train, ship, plane, horse and donkey. On the way you will meet the "real" cow which is not a human but not a dumb animal either.
