Makes you wonder what the point of all that grass and air is. There are higher yields on such farms though. I always buy organic milk now from a supermarket that knows each supplier. Often the big markets don't know the individual suppliers.

Hopefully, we’ll get to the Popcorn Park Zoo this year and see some beautiful rescued cows grazing and maybe get to pet and love on them.Cathy Keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237575721246947408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-4575244264933871242014-08-05T21:01:35.758-05:002014-08-05T21:01:35.758-05:00We saw lots of cows on our Wisconsin tour.

I'm so glad there are still some independent farmers still around. I know you farmers work hard for a living. I'll be visiting your blog regularly, and am so happy I found it.

It is somewhat hilly in the area we drive thru, so that could be one of the reasons. I'll hope so anyway.Mariodacatsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040681324029176934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-53739169954908094112014-08-03T08:13:08.052-05:002014-08-03T08:13:08.052-05:00I live in a farm area and often see the cows in th...I live in a farm area and often see the cows in the pasture.

We bring them inside when it gets hot because they really mind the heat. I know the big farmers keep them inside all the time, but we think it's much healthier for them to get exercise, fresh air, and it's better on their feet to be in the meadow! :)Alicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973714830730420149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-3587473711667854412014-08-02T15:20:04.004-05:002014-08-02T15:20:04.004-05:00Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I have a few friends that are dairy farmers and I live in a area where the dairy cows out number the people. :) Yes, there are the corporate farms. The cows are a very valuable asset. Even here with the dairies that have thousands and thousands of cows the cows are out in the lots after the first milking. <br />The friends I have that have smaller dairies, put them out to pasture, that are beautiful and green. You have to move the cows though because they will over graze the fields. Maybe the reason you don't see the cows is that the cows have just been moved to better pasture. I grew up on a farm and have always had livestock. I know that for me and my family our livestock often live better lives than we do and our lives revolve around them. In my sidebar on my blog there are two ladies who are dairy farmers and they treat those cows like family. The blogs are http://happilymarriedtothecows.blogspot.com/<br />http://ofpetalsandwool.blogspot.com<br />They could answer your questions so much better than me. I don't have cows anymore. <br />I hope that helps and thank you so much for stopping by. <br />KimFarm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.com
