A US farmer is installing water-beds for his cows because he thinks
comfortable bovines make more milk.
Each animal is enveloped in cushy softness when it lies down on
the beds.
Farmer John Marshman has put 75 water beds in his barn in Syracuse
near New York.
"The stalls with the water beds fill up faster than the other
stalls," said Mr Marshman.
"Cows are just like everybody else. When they figure out something
is more comfortable, that's where they'll go."
Doug Ford, a sales representative at Fisher Farms in Lenox, said
when a cow gets up from a water bed, another cow immediately gets
in and lies down.
"Sometimes, they'll stand there waiting for a cow to leave
so they can get in on the water bed," Mr Ford added.
The water beds are made by a company called Georgia Duck and sold
through Relative Products LLC in Reedsburg, Wisconsin.
