No wonder the milk’s been foamy...
waterbeds leak
Sounds like a plan that needs gubmint funding.
For sure.
The cow waterbed trend reportedly first began in Minnesota but is now starting to catch on the West Coast.

Do they have antifreeze?
I'm not touching that one.
Next they wil be putting disco balls in the barns. Bulls wearing gold chains...soooo 70’s
I’d hate to have to clean those sheets.
Dear Farmer Brown,
We'd like some waterbeds.
Sincerely,
The Cows
Why not just get them Sleep Number beds?......................
Hey, if it works, it’s an excellent example of how capital investment improves productivity. If the cows are more comfortable and produce milk in excess of the cost of the beds, then who could complain?
Local farms that tried water beds got rid of them. What worked best is rubber grindings filled bags. $130 each.
BS meter just jumped off the desk and buried itself in the wall.
This sounds crazy!
Whatever happened to cows laying down of a bed of hay?
Those waterbeds for cows have been out close to 20 years...made of thick, very tough rubber material to withstand the hoofs, etc.
A local dairy farm was equipped with them, and also had all the milking of hundreds of cows done by robot milking machines, which needed no direct human operation.
Feeding, etc. was all controlled by computer; each cow being recognized by the computer when she entered the milking stall by an ID tag on their neck chain. The computer knew how much milk she produced daily, how much feed she needed, etc.
A family squabble caused its downfall. Now the cows are all gone, the dairy store, gift shop, farm market is closed and someone else has leased the ground and is doing crop farming, only. All because of feudin’ over money!
