Cows Need Water More Than Once Daily
Dairy cows drink far more water than many expect with high producers often consuming ten gallons daily. Bolles notes four times more water when cows are milked, and research shows green crops and grain raise intake to about 350 pounds per ten hours of milk produced. Access to water should be at least twice daily and kept nearby to boost yield.
