A COW Is pretty much n creature OF

getting her feed at a certain time each
day and If that time arrives without
the feed she worries about II and this
affects her milk production. For this
reason regularity In feeding is very
important. Also watering and sailing
should be attended TO punctually. And
the water should be good. II Is a mis-
take to require cows to drink tainted

health If II does not affect the quality
