BBC Four - Secret Life of Farm Animals, Series 1, Cows

It is summer and the focus is on cows, a sheep that wants to be one and chicken chat.

Documentary Series It is summer and the focus is on cows. A look at how cows thrive in the wild, love music and problem-solving, and how chickens use 24 different clucks.

It's summer and we follow the first 12 weeks of a Hereford calf's life as he makes friends and settles into the herd. We discover that cows are much more than mother nature's muck-spreaders, rather they are highly social animals with complex personalities. They are also brilliant problem solvers with a love of music and given freedom to roam, thanks to the matriarch, they can thrive in the wild just as their ancient ancestors did. Is it any surprise that Hamish the ram wants to be one? But it's not just about cows. We also discover that chickens use 24 different vocalisations to communicate.
