Hm, your cows must be fussy. I have read that cows will eat oranges. We had a couple that did.
Day 1 of this milking/chore job done, just tomorrow (Wed) yet. Things going pretty much ok, but I'm afraid there will be a cow that won't get up very well in the morning. She appears to be one of those brain-dead creatures that can't lift her arse up, sticks her foot up front in the manger, and just generally flops around. I told SU "and you said WE had the dumbest cows on the face of the earth.............." I think he is finding out that our dumbest creatures have LOTS of company.
