Housing your dairy cow is easier than you think. She needs just a few things: fresh water, protection from the elements, some straw, and fresh hay. No heaters or flat screen TV’s necessary.
Though she won’t complain.

It is important to know the difference between hay and straw. Hay is dried grasses and used for feed. Straw is the stem of a grain plant and is useful for bedding and insulation. Hay should be green. Straw is golden yellow or tan.
