Norway discovers...

Farmers in Norway discovered that cows have increased milk production if they have soft mattresses to lay on. They have declined to talk about how they made this discovery.

Norway's dairy farmers have discovered how to make cows more productive: Give them mattresses. It turns out comfy cows give about five percent more milk. We know this because new rules went into effect in Norway aimed at easing the life of cows, who really like to lounge. Researchers think lying on the softer surface of a mattress increases blood volume through the udders and that allows cows to make more milk.

 

 

 

 

Theism is why we can't have nice things.
