Cow Signals by Jan Hulsen
Cows send out signals continuously about their health, well-being, nutrition and production. The difficulty for every dairy farmer is how to interpret these signals and use them. When observing cows it is important not to jump to conclusions; instead, always ask yourself three questions: What am I seeing? Why has this happened? What does this mean? For example, a lump on a cow’s shoulder says something about the feed barrier, while a cow standing in its cubicle is a sign of mediocre cubicle discomfort. Armed with information like this, you can take appropriate remedial action. If you know what to look for, you can pick up the signals.
