COWS ON WATERBEDS… did you know that a dairy farm in Wisconsin is using waterbeds for their cows?
I saw a documentary on automatic dairy farms that impressed me. The place had comfy room temperature, skylights gave them enough sunshine, they walked freely to be milked monitored by the computers that would not only wash them and sanitize them before and after milking. The cows also had huge overhead brushes (like in a carwash) that they walk under it to haver their backs washed, scratched and massaged. All of them looked well fed and content. The place was spotless. Of course, the water bed now makes it a five star. Poor things, they sure deserve it.
