Modern Dairy Farming: Caring for Cows

Understanding cow senses

Stanchions can be locked or unlocked. When they are unlocked, a cow is free to come and go as she pleases. Locking a stanchion is a way to keep cows safe for their daily exams and it’s extremely low stress for them! #dairy #cow #stanchions #vet #exam #lowstress #positivereinforcement #dairydoc #dairykind | Dairy Doc

Can your shelter, work area, pasture and budget handle the breed you are dreaming about? #homestead #rawmilk #rawmilkdairy #familycow #jerseycow #farmersmarket #guersneycows #brownswiss #cow #milkcow #homesteadlife | The Little Red Farm
