Eh? Dairy cows don't stand in one place all day - even if you meant to be using hyperbole, that's wildly inaccurate. A few basic facts illustrate why:

-for milk to be pumped, you need to create negative pressure, and because of the nature of dairy farming (people/animals going inside/outside constantly), a series of vacuum pumps is used to this effect. Most set ups use a series of individual pumps called pulsators at each stall. Meaning, if there was a significant amount of dirt, they would get clogged, and you wouldn't be able to pump ****. This is why you constantly hear pressure washers going.

-it wouldn't just be wildly expensive to have a cow contained to a milking stall, it'd be wildly inefficient.
-(1) if a cow has an infected teat, you don't put anything on that because (a), you'd risk further injuring an animal worth thousands, (b) it would go ape****, and dealing with an angry a 1,000+lb cow would be a time sink, (2) when you're dealing with a cow that has any suspected issues, the milk is pumped but it's dumped, (3) talk to any mother who breastfed regularly and you'll understand why it'd be cruel to NOT pump a cow with an infected teat. (edit: obviously, you just work around the infected teat)
But, hey, what the **** would I know? I've only worked in a dairy parlor. |
I'm talking about genetically engineered cows. These cows only live a life span of 3 to 4 years and almost all of them get infected utters.
They're pumped with rbgh, a growth hormone that is banned in every other nation in the world.
Were you working at a corporate farm?
Yeah, the slaughterhouses are much different then dairy houses I should have made that clear.
