COMMENTED COWS - Herman
j. Ockels can't very well turn his
COWS out to pasture, so he brings
the pasture to them.
And they're just lazy enough to
like it, the Seaford farmer says
OF the silyer-platter treatment.
Ockels drives a forage harvester
into the pasture, cuts a load of
chopped grass, brings it to the
barns and serves it to the cows.
All they have to do is stand there
and eat it.
Ockels says the lazy COW" idea
is practiced in, some other sections
because it cOnserves grass. But
Ockels doesn't have much choice.
His farm is bOrdered on one side
by the town of Seaford and on the
other by dual-lane highway. He'd
rather bring pasture to the COWS
than have them risk injury by
grazing.
