We've had some downers over the years... Usually you just roll them around. make sure they have good footing, etc and when they're ready to get up, they get up. Most times they're best just left alone... At the same time........ I've often wondered what some of these critics think you're supposed to do with a down cow? I mean... if the damn thing falls down in an alley or a walkway than needs to be open (and believe me, it does happen)... What do you do? Really, think about this... what do you do? Do you shut down care for 40 or 400 other animals because one is in the way? Do you provide a lead implant on the spot to a cow that might otherwise recover in a few days... and also run the risk of starting a stampede with the rest of them... The simple reality is that there is NO glamorous way to move 1400# of dead weight that's stuck in a barn... so sometimes they get dragged or lifted to their destination. That seems to offend a lot of people... but I've yet to hear an answer as to what one ~should~ do in those situations... just criticism about what they're doing wrong. That's how I see it anyway.

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
