Sample Book Insights:

#1 The author’s father, Marcus, had been the leader of the farm for over 20 years. He was ready to retire, and he decided that Bull was not the right person to succeed him. He wanted to make sure the farm was in good hands for the future.

#2 The farm had grown, but it was still small by comparison to other human-run farms. The competition between animal-run and human-run farms was constant, and it was a rivalry of mutual respect. But McGillicuddy, a human who ran the giant operation adjacent to Windsor Farm, had never accepted the modern reality of animals running their own farms.

#3 The next week, Marcus met with Deirdre and Bull to help her prepare to take over. She knew that she needed to win over Bull, who was very proud of the farm. She explained that he was needed back at the farm.

#4 When Deirdre created a new position for Bull, chief operating officer of the farm, he was thrilled. But he realized that the job was not the same as leading the farm. It was not his dream.
