I grew up on a dairy farm, so I've been around cows most of my whole life. If the workers are mistreating their cows (and it probably does happen sometimes), management needs to get involved to stop it. It's as simple as that. With that being said, I work for a company that is (as of the last three days) doing a lighting upgrade for a local dairy that has about 1200 cows. While we are working, we are right on top of the cows in a bucket truck installing the lights or with the cows right beside us with them on the other side of the stanchions. It's really funny that they are quite curious as to what we are doing and it appears that they watch us for their entertainment. I will tell you this: We have to work in the sun in high temperature, high humidity and no breeze. We have to assemble the lights in a trailer with the trailer sitting in the sun, again with no breeze. While we hit the water jug pretty hard, there is a big push to get this done, so breaks don't happen too often for us humans. At the end of the day, our clothes are soaking wet from sweat. The cows? They get to eat about as much as they want, get to drink as much as they want, have probably about a hundred 5-foot fans pointed at them, and they get to enjoy water misters that are pointing at them to keep them cool. Then, whenever they want, they go lie down in clean sand that is provided for them in their stalls. They look quite comfortable and content. Maybe PETA should do a clip about how us humans are are getting mistreated....

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
