The electro ejaculator thing and the artificial insemination of cows is so awful. Why can't the farmers let them simply mate naturally? Why do they have to do this to them? Because there are no fields for them? Or they haven't the patience to wait a little while and let nature take its course?
Fortunately in my area the farmers (well, the ones I am aware of) don't do that, and the cows in season are put with the bull in the field for a week or two.
But many times I have been caught up at milking time, when driving my car to the nearest village, and have had to park up and wait for the herd of cows to walk to the milking parlour. I switch off the engine and watch them. Some seem better and more cheerful than others, but some look very 'down', and some stumble a bit as if they are weary. Their udders are all too big, and cause difficulty walking in some of them. All of them have chafed udders that look sore.
