Why Cows Lose Weight
There are lots of different products to help cows lose weight to show them at the fair. There are unnatural products that they sell in the store. There are also ways to help cows lose weight naturally with farmers own crops. When you put cows on a diet they can get very cranky. I think that the cows can get leaner if you use the right things to help them do it.
There are lots of different diet foods that companies sell for cows. They make feed that is enough nutrients to keep them healthy which is what they only eat (Nasco). Farms sometimes use these. They make feed just to eat once a day to make them lose weight. This works but it is expensive compared to the farmers just using their own crops. They also make supplements to mix into the water that the cows drink. They have vitamins in them. There are lots of diet foods for cows but they can be unreliable and expensive.

One way that they help the cows lose weight and look more lean is only feeding the cows straw. They get the necessary nutrients and feel full.The cows still get some treats. When we put the halter on her head to walk them they still get a treat that they really love it’s corn and pellets that is like candy to them. We do that so that they go into the halter. When fair time comes they get lots of beet plump that they love. It makes them look full and it’s not bad for them. It is a healthy way for cows to lose

    Corn is being ground up and fed to cows in large quantities. This is done to fatten up cattle quicker, making the butchering process overall more efficient. But once again, the vast amounts of negative effects are being ignored in support of a greater profit. Cows are unable to digest corn in these amounts and should be grass fed. As a result, they start to get sick after approximately 3 months of this diet.…

    Before World War Two (WW2), ranchers raised grass fed cows and that was the norm. But because of the high demand for beef after WW2 ranchers had to change the way they raised cows. Ever since WW2, cows have been raised on grain which has become the norm when it comes to raising cows. That means they are fed mainly corn instead of grass. With the cows being fed corn they get fatter quicker so that means that they are at the weight to get slaughtered quicker. That was until recently when people started questioning corn fed beef and the health risks and how humane it was for the cows. Every year there are millions of cows slaughtered in the U.S for humans to consume. Most of the cows that are slaughtered are grain fed cows. Although some people argue that grain fed beef isn’t worse than grass fed beef in fact we should start eating more grass fed beef because it is more humane for the cows, better for the environment and it is healthier than grain fed beef for the consumer and the cows.…

    Now the shipping of the cow gets better. There is a clip in the movie of an oversized cow, that can not walk, being pushed and lifted into a truck to be shipped off. All the work was done by a forklift. Not only is the cow is treated like the crap, that they are covered in, but is treated even less to get the cow into a truck.

    Meat that has come from a cow. What do those cows eat and what do their “farms” look like? What factory farms want you to believe is that these cows are roaming on a farm, free of and abuse and harm, being able to eat grass whenever they want. The horrible reality is that theses cows eat gmo corn and soy that is placed in front of them while their heads are restrained downwards forcing them to eat for hours at a time in order to fatten them up enough to sell.

    Since I was little I’ve been out around the cows. Some of my earliest memories are being in the hay loft and throwing hay down to the cows. Then sitting on his lap in the skid loader scooping manure up. In more recent years I have been showing cows and boy are they a lot of work. Washing them at least two times a day, feeding them, then walking them, We even have to blow dry them. I have worked with my heifer so much this year that she follows me around like a puppy. The more I work with cows the harder worker I become.…

    They avoid the sadness and the tragedy that the walls hide, cows are often in most times treated very very badly. According to The Humane Society of U.S.A. cows are slaughtered at the age of only 16-18 weeks and about 30% are kept in “housing-groups” which they are individually confined, which they are kept there till they have reached the slaughtering weight. It is often assumed that they are slaughtered in a humane, clean way however more than 40 million cows die every year, they are beat almost to death, dragged, often forced to starve and dehydrate, electrocuted, poked, branded, and pushed into processing lines terrified of what beholds the end of that line. Most slaughterhouses use the slicing of the neck method or the bolt gun method, although 40% of the time it is ineffective and leaves the animal conscious throughout the process of being dismembered and…

    The digestive system of the horse consists of a simple stomach, small intestines, cecum, large and small colons, rectum and anus. The horse 's stomach is comparatively small for its size. The stomach of an average horse has a holding capacity of about two gallons. This may be the reason horses eat small but frequent meals. From the stomach food moves to the small intestine, which is the main site of digestion. The small intestine empties into the cecum. The cecum; along with the large colon; make up the large intestine. Digestion in the large intestine occurs by action of bacteria and protozoa. (arg.gov.sk.ca)…
