Anyone else play a radio overnight on the theory the cows would be more content?
We kept one going in the barn all winter long. Cows only got out to water twice a day. I don't know if it kept them calm, but the first few days milk production was off. In a week they were back to normal.
No one told us what to play so we went with the Wheeling West Virginia Jamboree. Sort of a fore runner of the Grand Ole Opry. We might have had it on a bit loud and that may have disturbed the cows. Any stranger in the alley way between the stanchions did the same thing though.
