"My friends from Vermont tell me that happy cows make the best milk."

I do not doubt this, but how does one determine a cow is happy?

Sure, all those milk cartons show some dopey looking cow with a photoshopped smile, but really? They never seemed overly expressive, just eat and defecate.

I grew up on a dairy farm. Not hard to tell when a cow is unhappy, neutral or happy—also fairly easy to discern what conditions make them feel those ways.They produce more milk when they aren’t stressed.
