First, let me emphasize the need to seek your local veterinarian's advice in matters of animal health issues! Secondly, the producer must realize that there are two "states" of the disease, the active or acute state where the animal exhibits the symptoms of the disease, and the sub-acute, or "carrier" state of the disease where the animal is infected, but does not exhibit the symptoms of the disease.

A..Skinny cows are ice cream sandwiches made by a company called Silhouette. They are two large chocolate cookies filled with soft low fat ice cream. But the ice cream tastes like the real thing, and they are HUGE!! In my area they only come in chocolate and vanilla, but I hear about caramel, mint and peanut butter. Most of them are just 2 points, but some are 3 points. Silhouette has a web site where you can see if they are available in your area. Please visit them at http://www.skinnycow.com

No‚ the cows do not bite. In fact all the animals on the Farm are used to being cared for by school-aged kids‚ and therefore look at all children as their ‘friends’.

The most important part of their diet is the pasture grass they graze themselves all day (and, in the winter, high quality hay which we make ourselves on the farm). High quality forage produces the very best milk. Note that the pastures here are not fertilized with sludge or any chemical fertilizer. While being milked, the cows eat a little all natural grain supplement made from barley and oats (16% protein). They also receive mineral supplement free choice (available at all times).

In contrast to more typical dairy breeds, Jersey cows give a smaller amount of milk which is higher in butterfat. Our cows are giving about three gallons each, per day. Please note that milk production varies with the season, the weather, the quality of the forage available; and the normal curve of the cow's lactation cycle.

The cow sculptures are made of flame-retardant fiberglass and have within them steel rebar for reinforcement. The Cows weigh approximately 125 pounds before application by the artist. For public display, the Cows are mounted to cement bases weighing approximately 400 pounds. The Cows come in three basic positions - standing (head up), grazing (head down), reclining.

Yes, our cows graze in our fields every day except for a few days (2-5) when the weather requires them to be up near the barn.

A cow has one stomach with four different chambers, which is why many people say that a cow has four stomachs.

The best way is to avoid traveling to places where the disease is most common and avoid close contact with someone who appears to have the disease. Hospital workers who have started wearing masks and gloves have not gotten sick.

Standing - Keeping one foot forward of the other, with knees slightly bent, takes the pressure off your low back. Moving Heavy Items - Pushing is easier on your back than pulling. Use your arms and legs to start the push. If you must lift a heavy item, get someone to help you. Lifting - Kneel down on one knee with the other foot flat on the floor, as near as possible to the item you are lifting. Lift with your legs, not your back, keeping the object close to your body at all times.

a general rule, people should observe wildlife, including wild birds, from a distance. This protects people from possible exposure to diseases and minimizes disturbance to the animal. Avoid touching wildlife. If there is contact with wildlife, do not rub eyes, eat, drink, or smoke. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.

If desired, carefully apply a mosquito repellent according to the directions found on the container. When overused or used improperly, repellents may cause allergic and toxic reactions.

huh? It isn’t like there is a massive herd of wild cows and we are doing them a service by culling the herd. If we don’t need as many cows in the world, then we just won’t breed as many replacements, and we can put the land to other uses.

The average California cow produces 19,825 pounds of milk each year, more milk per cow than any any other state in the nation. That's 2,305 gallons of milk a year or about 8 gallons of milk every day of her milking period. That’s enough for 128 people to have a glass of milk every day!

A Holstein's spots are like a fingerprint or a snowflake. No two cows have exactly the same pattern of spots.

The cow must be a mother before she will produce milk. A newborn Holstein calf weighs about 100 pounds and can walk within one hour after birth!

Only cows from a clean herd are used in the production of Matol Biomune OSF? Plus. All cows are properly cared for, maintained in a state of excellent health and exposed to absolutely no cruelty of any kind. No procedure used in the preparation of the product harms or irritates the cows. There are quality control testing sequences for contaminants, immunological factors, and purity of the extract to create a consistent and reliable product.

Scientific research, conducted in the last decade in major medical research centers and universities, throughout the world, has shown that the molecular combinations of the immune and growth factors in cow's colostrum are virtually identical to human. Research has also shown that only bovine colostrum is not species specific and can work in human and lower mammals.
