Signs that cows may be in estrus is acting restless and mooing a lot, wandering around the pasture in search of a mate, travel further than normal, and If there's a bull around, she will also mount the bull before she stands to let him mount…

I am Iris, and I am here to tell you about the world's greatest dairy producer of all time--the Swiss cow. The Swiss cow is an unusual breed of cow.

Robotic vs parlors Even for dairy farmers, new technology and robots are quickly becoming more available for the farmers use. Robdots came into the U.S. in the year of 2000. Robots can very drastically cut the amount of time spent in the barn. Owning a robotic milker could also be a nightmare if things do not go how it is supposed to. Parlor systems may be the better way to go if the farmer doesn 't like technology. The standard parlor system is the better way to go because it involves less…

Bargaining within the household is often hidden, involving emotional manipulations and unspoken power games that may not be readily detectable or fundamentally threatening (Locke & Okali, 1999, p-275). In response to the problems posed by a unitary conceptualization of the household, economists have proposed alternative household models. These models, especially those embodying the bargaining approach, provide a useful framework for analyzing gender relations (Agarwal, 1997). Research based…

2.1. Dairy Farm The women group consisting of 20 members intends to undertake collective farming with shares as per their investment. Initially the farm will have 10 cows which will be managed collectively as an enterprise by the women members.

At the rate of 18 liters per day (average yield of milk per cow), the dairy farm will be able to sell 54,900 liters annually. Female calves will be kept at…

But now, as the calves in the stalls when the cows come home, drove home of them herded back from field to farmyard, once they've grazed out their fill- as all their young calves come frisking out to meet them, bucking out their pens, lowing nonstop, jostling, rushing round their mothers so my shipmates there at the sight of my return came pressing round me now, streaming tears, so deeply moved…
