Dairy farmer Rob Taverner based in Devon, UK has found a way to get his cows in the mood for milking; Tai Chi. Taverner performs this ancient Chinese form of relaxation to the cows every morning before milking.
“The essence of Tai Chi is to leave behind your problems, which has a
relaxing effect. Obviously this also seem to work for cows. “And every farmer
knows that relaxed and happy cows can produce more milk”, says
Taverner.
