Foothill Dairying

Categories: Live Stock and Dairy

Is there any risk to run in taking cows to an altitude of 2000 from a

much lower one?



There is no quarrel between a cow and a mountain. Ever since the

settlement of the State cows have been driven directly from the valley

up to the mountain meadow pastures, both for butter and for beef-making,

in the summer time. The foothill elevation you mention is only a

starting to elevations of 6000 feet and more to which cattle are driven

every season.
