More Cow Talk
Leave me my tail
Essentially the industy follows one dairy farming model - a model based on a milking shed with a concrete floor. After each milking (in season twice a day) the floor of the milking shed is hosed down to clean all the cow shit out. All that water then makes its way outside into the paddocks, and from there into the streams, and you know the rest.
All this water makes the paddocks soggy and as the cows walk through these soggy paddocks backwards and forwards to the milking shed, their feet get constantly wet. Damp hooves make for foot infections. These foot infections are treated with antibiotics. Guess where these antibiotics end up... in the milk I'm thinking.
