I was driving into Maricopa to go dove hunting early one morning and a HUGE silo exploded and killed right as I drove by. After my shoot I asked the coppers, yep a dude got smoked. Huge dairy farm, shit happens.

Figure $1200-$1500 per moo & those folks lost a lotta jack…wonder if they had ins for that kinda loss.
It’s kind of a shame, I mean it’s not baby cows locked in cages for “veal” but it’s not a long way off. I understand efficiency and all but you gotta draw the line somewhere.
Maybe I’ve never paid much attention in the past but recently seems like a lot of food plant fires, chicken die offs lately and now exploding cow farms. All coincidences I am sure.
For those who weren’t nerdy &/or in a certain age range circa 1980’s.

Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies either. Just describing how it is. Or at least what I see.
The cows on my place may “live a little better”(?), but it ain’t like they are living long and carefree lives. They are bound for the butcher. I try not to be too judgy.
Dairy cows usually get a longer expectancy, but in this case seems like they literally had all their eggs in one basket. You’d think a dairy farm might be familiar with that axiom.
That’s a lot of cheddar…
