The Cow Lie More Straight in Free Stall
The cows lie more straight in the free stalls – the cows lie more relaxed – the consumption of bedding is almost reduced by half – no more damage on the udder since GreenStall Easy has been installed – the cows are more relaxed – no more problems with the hollow of the knees – better resting comfort/longer resting time/higher milk production – more space for the head of the cow – cheaper compared to the traditional free stall.

GreenStall Easy is a further development of GreenStall, which has won a lot of awards in all of Europe for the innovative form and flexibility. GreenStall Easy is developed by Tommy Wollesen who is the general manager of Cow-Welfare. It was designed by Tommy Wollesen, a Danish buildings consultant, an idea from a cowman in the south of Denmark and by the farmer Esben Larsen, who was the first farmer to test GreenStall Easy. Afterwards, he got it installed in the rest of the barn.
One of the special things, when it comes to GreenStall Easy, is the low flexible plastic pipe which guides the cow into the right resting position. Furthermore, the slanting angle of the plastic pipe guarantees a lot of space for the cow's head. The straight plastic pipe in the top, guides the cow when it goes in and out of the free stall and also prevents the cow from turning around in the free stall.
The neck bracket is mounted on the plastic pipe in the top. The neck bracket is made out of the same soft plastic material as the other pipes in the construction. This kind of material guarantees a very comfortable and flexible solution for the cow.
The cows that are new in the flock or that for some reason want to go through the free stall, will not get badly hurt or break any bones, like she might in the traditional free stall. The reason for this is the soft and flexible neck bracket of the GreenStall Easy. The outer dimension of the neck bracket is like the other plastic pipes, but the thickness of the plastic in the neck bracket is just the half of that in the other pipes. That increases the flexibility of the neck bracket when the cow stands up and lies down.
To mount GreenStall Easy is like the name: easy. Making adjustments later on is not a problem either. The unique construction of GreenStall Easy is appropriate to cows, calves, bigger and smaller races. If adjustments are needed in order to change the resting position, the vertical plastic pipes and the neck bracket is movable as needed. This means that it is very easy to adjust and to optimise the resting time of the cow at any time.
Dear farmer: If you have the slightest doubt about the GreenStall Easy, please contact one of our good advisers and get a non-binding offer for the GreenStall Easy, even if it is just a smaller quantity for the existing barn. It is our absolute conviction that the GreenStall Easy will make you and your cows very happy and pleased.

    At the beginning of the chapter, Eric meets Hank a local rancher, who shows him around the subdivisions of Colorado Spring that is taking over the ranch land. “The industrialization of cattle-raising and meatpacking over the past two decades has completely altered how beef is produced- and the towns that produce it. Responding to the demands of the fast food and supermarket chains, the meatpacking giants have cut costs by cutting wages. They have turned one of the nation's best manufacturing jobs into one of the lowest paying, created by a migrant industrial workforce of poor immigrants, tolerated high injury rates, and spawned rural ghettos in the American heartland” (Schlosser 149).

    Bill Mckibben, author and environmentalist, explains why being a vegetarian is beneficial for the environment in the article "The Only Way to Have a Cow." He argues that the manufacturing of corn and beef releases harmful gasses into the atmosphere. Eating less meat would decrease the amount of those gasses and improve the environment. I believe there is some truth to what McKibben is saying but his tone is slightly like that of someone who is or thinks they are superior.…

    The first advantage of dehorning cattle is it makes the cattle easier to handle. This is because dehorned cattle exhibit fewer aggressive behaviours.

    A pressing, and often-overlooked challenge on dairy farms is maintaining or improving cow comfort.

Conditions such as these are not only stressful to the cows, but also greatly affect their physiology and productivity. Fortunately, there are practical and economical solutions available to deal with these issues.…

    Pigs And Showmanship

    • 1199 Words

    When showing pigs there are three parts in the shows. Showmanship is one in the morning before the actual show starts. Showmanship is all about you; it’s my favorite part of showing because the judge will ask you questions about your pig or about the type of pig you are showing. Some judges will make you switch pigs or he will take away your whip or cane and you will have to use your hand to walk the pig. The 4-H show is all about the pig, you want to show the judge all four sides of the pig. When you are showing you should always have your eyes on the judge, the judge will place the worst pigs first then keep the top two out. The gate holders will let you out, then judge will talk about your pig on what’s good about it and what’s bad about it. When you are leaving the arena you should always shake the judges hand, especially if you get top three. The third part is the grand drive, a grand drive is for the kids that won a breed champions and reserve breed champions to come back and the judge will pick the overall Grand Champion. A breed champion is when the judge takes the first places from each class of that type of pig and picks the best one. Which ever pig wins for breed champion the second place pig that class comes out to show for reserve. If you win breed champion you get a plaque, a laminated piece of paper that says breed champion, and a purple ribbon. If you get reserve champion, you get a light pink ribbon. If you win Grand Champion you get a big plaque, purple banner that says Grand Champion, you also get a big purple…

    Camping With Cows

    Cows are scary at night. I found this out once on a Boy Scout camping trip. Camping trips with the Boy Scouts can be great fun if you can come up with things to do during the dull moments between planned activities and sleep. This was never a problem for me and my peers being the criminal mastermind that I was back then. I never had any trouble thinking of stupid ideas to get us all in trouble. On this occasion since we were camping on a farm after a day full of parent approved fun activities night fell and we were left to our own devices. Instead of doing the usual snipe hunting this time the idea of cow tipping was brought to the table. Being the all knowing wise leader that I was I convinced…

    Cow and Pig Manures

    • 575 Words
    • 3 Pages

    While cows eat many of the same plants eaten by horses, weed seeds do not survive in a cow's digestive system. Cattle (along with goats, sheep, deer, and some other animals) are ruminants that have a system of two stomachs to double-digest their food. Cattle manure is often collected as a slurry, does not have bedding materials mixed in with it, and will break down easily. For these reasons, cow manure is better than horse manure in a compost pile. Nitrogen level is lower than that for horse manure. Pig (hog) manure is collected as a slurry. Its high odor level will diminish when it is combined with dry carboniferous materials. Its nitrogen and other nutrient levels are similar to cow manure.…
