Happy Holstein cows chewin the cud in Ayrshire

Content cows chewing the cud in lush grass under a cloudless blue sky. There are a lot of video's on this site which say bad things about the dairy industry so i decided to post this video to show that cows have a good life on the dairy farm. Most of the peta /animal rights video;s on dairy cattle are a lie
Filmed July 08. A few days later it started raining and never stopped until the winter :(

I would like to know if the cows recognize their fellow cows and the people who herd them?

[holsteincowboy]

@heidilow77 They do. They become nervous if a stranger approaches them

[heidilow77]

If the herder goes away for two weeks and comes back, would the cows still recognize him?

I love seeing our cows on pasture, its fun to see how they socialize in an open environment. It's also cheap feed and it's good for their feet and legs.

So peaceful, and out in the open should be the life for a cow nowadays. The cows look good. I enjoyed watching your cow chewing, the surroundings are beautiful.

@holsteincowboy ..... ..... "It is not possible to keep them on the farm when milk production goes down."

In other, plainer, words, they get sent to slaughter. Horrible conditions in truck or train until they get there, and then abuse when they get there, until the release of death. Didn't you say you love cows? Why not keep them as companion animals when they're no longer "useful" to you, if you love them?

[kimberlily1983]

@holsteincowboy Hmm, why bother feeding them from a bucket? I think mothers and babies should be able to enjoy the bonding time that comes with allowing suckling until the calf is finished with that.

I'm glad you treat their mastitis, but I meant do you keep milking them while they're infected? Any woman who's had mastitis, I'm told, knows it's excruciatingly painful; you cannot breast-feed with this condition. It also results in pus in the milk.
