Music to my Udders

Bearman Cartoons Cow's Milk Production and Music

 

Here is something you probably didn’t know.  Researchers have concluded and farmers have known for years that playing music to cows can increase milk production around 5%.  Now some cows prefer hard rock and some prefer classical, but all cows agree that they won’t produce if Justin Bieber’s music is played.  Ok I made that last part up.

    Makes sense to me. Great thing to experiment with. What type of music produces the most milk. Could be a fun thing to do. Okay, I need to get a life. Bwahahahahahahaha.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend. 🙂

    I still believe you about Justin Bieber. I don’t think it’s moo-sic to their ears at all.

        But classical music is divine to the bovine

    This is why cows are prone to breakdancing.

      But if you tip them can they get up?

    I heard cows have been known to commit suicide when Bieber is playing.

      You heard it or you HERD it?

      1. Nate Fakes Avatar

        Oh, herd – of course!

    I’ve heard this before. Some people like cow tongue too. I think Miley Cyrus has cow tongue. In fact in some pictures it appears she is still choking on one.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      As a kid my mom boiled cow tongue. I NEVER liked it.

      1. lisleman Avatar

        I’ve never seen it on plate and hope I never do. BTW I don’t care to it hanging out of Miley’s mouth either.

        1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

          In it’s cut up form it is OK looking. It is seeing that big tongue in a pot of water

        But did you lick it?

      3. JerryBenedict Avatar

        My wife’s parents made that too… and cow brains. Needless to say, it wasn’t a big hit at the dinner table.

        1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

          I’d have to draw the line at brains…ugh.

    I wonder why that is? That could make for one messy dance floor.

      Music soothes the savage beast

    Oh no! Another six-teat cow!!!

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Should there have only been 4? Seemed more is better

      1. Rogers George Avatar

        Yes, four. A six-teated cow is a space alien!

        1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

          That’s what happens when you grow up in the city

    And they get up and shake their udders when the techno plays.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      I’ve seen that on the dance floor

    If it worked for humans I’m sure men would be playing music for their women all the time!

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      If you are into breast milk I guess haha

    You may have made the last part up but I bet it’s true.
    “Music To Lactate To” is now available on I-Tunes
    Those who downloaded this album also bought;

      Really there is a song called No milk today. haha

      1. Tony McGurk Avatar

        I love that song. Did you watch the one with the link? I thought they’d both show up as just links but one did & the other showed as an embedded video.

    I guess if you ain’t real hi-tech you could just sing to them. Of course if I sang to one it would probably give buttermilk. I have heard about the milk from contented cows but with some of the music out there today I’m afraid it would be the milk from demented cows.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      More like cottage cheese

  12. Binky Avatar

    If you play cows chocolate music, do they produce chocolate milk?

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Try it out and let me know.

    Even cows don’t like Justin Bieber!

    1. Rachael C. Black Avatar

      it sours the milk. then the cows demand to be carried to the barn on the shoulders of their bodyguards. A total mess really

      1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

        Maybe they just automatically make sour cream

  14. G.B. Miller Avatar

    I don’t know. Maybe Justin Beiber (of which my 12 1/2 year daughter despises) was factored into the research.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      12 1/2 well she is 1/2 year too old to like him still.

  15. Rachael C. Black Avatar

    Why haven’t the folks at Apple picked this one up as a TV advert?! They’re missing out on a sure thing.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      My friend who is a lactation expert says it works on women too

  16. Joseph Avatar

    That’s great! I love classical music, so I’m sure that’s their favorite, too!

    Well you didn’t make that up! It’s common sense.
    Two days ago I watched a documentary about production of buffalo mozzarella in Naples and they explained how important music was to their buffaloes. ahah And of course, I didn’t hear any Bieber’s songs.
    I’m sure it’s a true fact.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Buffaloes roam in Naples?

  18. Mark Stokes Avatar

    Do you think they play “Little Brown Jugs”?

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      I don’t know that song

  19. Dave Avatar

    Human Fact: Mother’s exposed to their crying baby produce more milk… or something like that.

  20. ocdbloggergirl Avatar

    Do they like remixes?

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Only if it is remixed with chocolate

    Cows love Gaga.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      So they go Goo Goo for Gaga?

  23. JerryBenedict Avatar

    I guess if you play them Muzak, the milk just ends up watered down and bland!

  24. Daniel Barton Avatar

    Shake it baby! 🙂

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      You can shake it in the morning…you can shake it in the night

    In WA they give red wine to cattle to make the meat more tender.

    I wonder what different types of music would do…. What would death metal milk taste like?
