Happy cows live in Germany!!

Holy Cow!! They are keeping us very busy!
We went to Hanover and stayed with veterinary students for a couple of nights, they were amazing! My host, who had stayed with me in Texas in March, is so nice and extremely helpful!! We got to tour their brand new small animal clinic, which only opened a couple of months ago. It is really big and spacious and state of the art!! The facilities are really nice, very clean, and pet owner friendly. I really like how they have special rooms for clients to sit in with their pets when they get treatments, or can even get some sleep in! It seems like they have all of the latest gadgets too! Their new equine clinic is just as impressive! It felt nicely set up, and very convenient.
After seeing their farm where the cattle can literally get milked when every they want to, eat when they want to, and wander around, I am convinced that they are very happy cows! They have an amazing milking machine that reads the cows tag when she comes in (on her own) and knows everything about her, including when she was milked last and how much milk she gave! It even cleans not only the cow before and after the milking, but also itself!! Really interesting!! Even just riding on the train looking out at the fields, all I see are nice fat healthy looking dairy cows. They get to graze in lush green pastures and they all look so content!! So I am convinced that Happy Cows actually live in Germany!!
