The comfy beds are.because cows only produce milk laid down

I design the lighting at 465nm blue wavelength for them to suppress melatonin , this keeps them producing milk and makes them frisky more calf’s.

Much more efficient as before it was dawn and dusk carrying litres and litres of milk around for hours.

Simples.

Which farm UG
Yes, my sister in law works as an area manager visiting farms & doing recordings. She specialises in monitoring the cows output and getting the maximum for the farmers. That's what I understand about it anyway and she is all for it. Plus its made her farming side if the job a lot easier now. I suppose less dangerous too as she's had quite a few broken legs!

The farm is in gargrave. I think it is the only one there to use this system, do you know it? I am pretty sure its only been installed over the last year or 2.

I did say it must be heaven for the farmers but so sad that we seem to be going away from nature in almost everything we do.
