Bossy gives more milk

Posted on October 4, 2009 | Comments Off on Bossy gives more milk

The 2009 Ig Nobel Prize for Veterinary Medicine goes to Catherine Douglas and Peter Rowlinson of Newcastle University, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK, for showing that cows who have names give more milk than cows [who] are nameless. Makes sense to me, but, then, I am not a dairy farmer. How about it, Diller?

    Methinks there is a need for another research: what if a cow gets more than one name? Will it double, triple, etc… the produce?

    Oh, indeed. Let’s give the cow a hyphenate name and ensure production.
    I’m still waiting for Diller, a rare reader who has a farm in Florida to give his two cents on this.
