Some Quiet Time For The Dairy Herd

The cows were busy eating, and being fairly quiet. I can imagine what this place might be like during the busy period of milking.


Onward I went into another area. Calves were found here, generally at rest.


And beyond them, some of the herds' recent mothers, whose milk is reserved exclusively for the youngsters.


They certainly are photogenic.

    I imagine their milk is reserved for the young because they are producing bovine colostrum as well! Which apparently is the new panacea. It seems to actually be a wonderful food for humans according to research and ancient Indian ayurvedic texts which referred to it as liquid gold. I enjoyed strolling through the barns with you. William. Have a beautiful Sunday Easter and a delightful week ahead

    Sad that the calves are removed from their mothers so soon after birth.

    ...eating is an important part of their life.

    I'm surprised the calves aren't with their mothers, William.

    Certainly a lot of research can be done here by analyzing the milk.

    I love that spot. I don't know cows very well. They are a hoot.

    Cows are such gentle creatures, we see them just about everywhere here as NZ is a farming country.
