The heifers and cows that aren’t milking get the pasture. We’ve found grass too fresh in our milk cows is a bit of a shock to their system and usually results in a lot of green poo! Cow movements aside, they will get fresher hay come summer, but we like to have it either dry a couple weeks or ferment a little. Very little change for their stomachs that way.
It's all about what they are bred for. A beef animal, you want them to be able to effectively put weight on when they are fed, since the final product is beef. For dairy you want them to effectively produce milk, since milk is the final product. That's why when you look at a beef and dairy cow side by side they have different body types.
Nice, convincing delivery, confirming that "we sometimes", "did we? Yes, we did" add palm oil to dairy cow feed ... as everywhere, profits go before safety and anything helping with profits was, is and will be used most efficiently: lobbying politicians and buying "scientific" opinions ... we as consumers fight back, also most efficiently, we jump up and down, make noise and are ignored almost five years and then are promised improbable things (lied to most masterfully) and then the cycle repeats, we're just lucky that they took out the asbestos-arsenic additive that increases the shelf life (the last part was a sarcasm employed for emphasis, not a verified truth)
Bottom line, consumers don't want their money to be going toward palm oil in the dairy. As an aside, any other oil alternative would actually be environmentally worse in terms of land required, but consumers don't know that, and the message is, they don't want palm oil being added to their dairy. There's also the question of the nutritional impact here: palm oil actually isn't overly healthy, it's very high in saturated fat, which is why the butter now has a higher melting point. How does that change the nutritional composition of dairy products at a time when every health professional is nudging us to lower saturated fats intake? Dairy farmers are saying that the "science hasn't been done on that", but then if it hasn't, why are they rolling the dice with consumers' health anyway before having tested that? The reason seems to be that the palm oil derivatives are an efficient way of increasing the butterfat content of milk, which is where the money is.
Always informative
I just started watching your videos and I love them
Great video! Thanks for making it!
You do a great job I'm really enjoying your videos
This is really interesting; I had no idea. Well done!

Do you give the cows fresh grass in the summer? Good video.

Cows get fat on grass corn and grains. Makes people fat eating corn and grains. Cows should eat meat not hay.
Hay
Grass
Corn stalks
Water
Ground corn
Ground mixture soybean oil etc
Vitamin mixture.
What is the cost of feed for a cow per day
What's the difference of a regular cow and a dairy one

What the hell is Palm oil?
