Book Synopsis
In a book steeped in the culture, traditions, and history of western range ranching, Michelle Berry takes readers into the Cold War world of cattle ranchers in the American West to show how that power, with its implications for the lands and resources of the mountain states, was built, shaped, and shored up between 1945 and 1965.

Trade Review
“Cow Talk highlights the powerful links between group identity and political power, revealing how ranchers secured ongoing social and political influence. This is the story of how ranchers transformed themselves from an unruly herd into one ready for the rigors of the modern trail.”—Joshua Specht, author of Red Meat Republic: A Hoof-to-Table History of How Beef Changed America

“Detailed and lively, Cow Talk provides great insight into a special interest group that became increasingly politically powerful.”—Rebecca Scofield, author of Outriders: Rodeo at the Fringes of the America West
