I don't think this is common practice. My dairy knowledge is somewhat dated, but they they're usually kept in large corrals (possibly crowded) with many other cows.
- wyre 5y agoThey have to keep the cow in a cage or else she will look for her offspring.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoNo, they're not "kept in cages". You may be thinking of the stanchions they're put into for milking, but they're only put in those during the actual milking process, which only takes a few minutes with modern milking machinery. Usually they're fed something tasty while being milked... makes it easier to get them to go into the dairy barn.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoIt depends on the country. In the Netherlands they are definitely kept in small cages / stables during the winter. I suppose in a climate that permits them to be outside all year it's a different story.
