Lend an Ear: The Secrets to Listening to Cows


Ever wonder what a cow is thinking or how she is feeling? Just take a look at her ears and they will spill most of her secrets. The direction that her ears are facing will tell you what she is paying attention to. If she only has one ear facing you, she's only half listening, but that's better than not paying attention at all. Another thing her ears tell you is how she is feeling. If she has droopy ears, she is most likely sick and not feeling well. A big tip for farmers to see if she has been eating or milking, and then go from there. Ears are a farmers best friend because you can also tell what noises are bothering them and fix it, making her life easier.
