Is it normal for my cows to have a dry cough. It's not very often and when they do it, it is normaly just once. I'm assumming it is normal because they all do it, even the new ones i bring in, and have been doing it for a while. Cows seem fine.???

Generally speaking they don't - unless they are hungry or if dinner is late, taken away/seperated from their herdmates, or don't have water. Every once in a while you'll get a vocal one who seems to like to beller just to hear his brains rattle, though.

When dinner is late...that's when my steer does his best squawking.

When the girls start the morning wake-up call the sters in the finishing pasture provide the accompanyment.
Semi-retirement is great...only cows and Susie to answer to!
