Now, here’s a little lesson in cow psychology! Wait, don’t laugh, this is serious business. Some Russian farmer heard somewhere that his cows will give more milk if they are happier and more relaxed. Then he pondered a bit wondering what is the thing that cows love most and what makes them happy, and came up with an idea. He’ll install wide LCDs in barns and play the images of juicy green grass all day long!

To see if this modern and expensive method is showing any results, he divided his cows in two teams. Team A will watch TV with images of green lawns, while on the other hand, team B will be deprived of this pleasure. Then he’ll measure up the amount of milk that they are giving. Since the experiment is still in process, we don’t know the results.

Judging by these images, these cows don’t seem to be impressed by the program. Maybe when our inventive farmer finishes with this experiment he should try out playing different sort of videos, like classic music, ballet or images from the space. Since the point is to make cows feel relaxed maybe he should try out making the barns more cosy with a few cushions and candles. ![]()
