A Dairy Cow’s Schedule: Exposed

Did you know cows are stuck in one place all day being milked and are never allowed to move?

Actually … that’s just silly.

During the winter my girls, I mean dairy cows, live in free stall barns, which are designed to allow dairy cows to roam freely from their beds to feed and to water. Custom barns ensure my girls are comfortable instead of being forced to stay outside in unruly weather. During the summer, which in Oregon is quite nice, the girls add the lush, green pasture to their daily routines.

My dairy cows are milked for a total of 15-20 minutes a day.

Facts not fear, people.
