To truly know how cows are managed, we need to "hang out" with them, or with their caretakers, for several hours. We need to see how feed is mixed and delivered, how milking is performed and determine how often feed is pushed up.
As veterinarians, we often find ourselves unable to determine the nature and cause of the problem case. So, who pays for our time?
