Good question
I might have thought you were thinking about France, but the French eat snails instead of racing them.
Instead I thought you were thinking of my homeland, a country known for action-packed entertainment such as slow TV.

I belive one of the English kings thought a tree was the German kaiser )
Before the more industrialized form of farming we see today it was normal for a farmer to talk to the animals. I remember my grandparents always took time after feeding the farm animals every morning and evening to pat them and talk to them. It made the cows and sheep calmer and easier to work with. My grandma didn't have to herd the sheep, they just followed her around. It feels natural to me too. When I pass by the two lambs by the neighbour's house I usually chat to them.
Some farmers swear that playing music to their cows while milking ups the yield. Also a certain type of beef is taken from cattle who are routinely massaged and sung the subsequent wagyu beef is said to be the finest!
I've only ever had it once in a hotel restaurant and it was delicious but my personal preference is Aberdeen Angus and preferably a rib eye.
Fleming mentions this in YOLT- Tiger Tanaka takes Bond to a barn where they watch a herdsman massaging a cow and Tiger explains the procedure.

Yes, I've heard of cows bring played Mozart and other classical music to increase milk yield. I think there's been research done on this. In any event, cows are certainly intelligent animals. -{

Milkmaids used to sing to get the cows come to her for milking. My grandmother on my father's side was one in her youth. I assume all women on my father's side were milkmaids before they were married.

Yes of course..... Amazing how many things have a bond connection -{
It's now accepted that adrenaline makes for poor meat, so a relaxed animal who farmed in a decent way and undergoes as little stress as possible in its final moments makes for better produce. I'm a firm believer that animals should be treated with respect and enjoy decent welfare.
Perhaps the most Bondian scene from LTK, one which normally arouses a sense of pleasure and satisfaction from those who love James Bond!

Sheep farmers really do (did?) talk to their sheep
Talking to animals, on the other hand, is perfectly reasonable.
Don't you mean "Talking to the trees wood be insane"?
