Music calms hot cows

Farmers in a Romanian village are using music to help their cows cope with a heatwave.

Cowherds at a farm in Ramnicelu village, from Braila county, came up with the idea which has now been adopted by all local animal owners.

One said: "Now the villagers will not leave their animals with us if we don't have CD players in the stables."

The man said cows don't seem to care what kind of music is played but are happy and relaxed as long as something is playing.

Local mayor Lucian Chiru said: "Since they invented this thing with the music not only the cows don't bother about the heat but they give more milk and seem to be smarter.

"They come in alone from the pasture as if they want to hear more music."

Romania has been hit by an unprecedented heatwave in recent weeks with temperatures close to 40C claiming at least 30 lives.

They should make the cows listen to Enya.

i sure hope that they dont start testing music on animals the animal rights activets would have a field day

but i wonder if it would work hmmm

Whatever makes 'em happy..... go for it.

what? are they making requests now?

I hope they're enjoying their mooooosic......

Possibly some LOG?

I just like the title of this thread

because the words at first seem so random

but then it all makes so much sense

I like Enya.

No no no! There is no "liking" Enya there is worshiping Enya or hating Enya!

Nope, I fall somewhere in between.

Alice is my number one man, but when I need a soothing, I play me some Enya.

And God knows I've never hugged a tree.

Everyone should hug trees. Brings out the monkey in you.

I'd rather swallow glass.

If I hugged a tree, next thing I'd know I'd be listening to Sting and wearing rainbow t-shirts.

Nope, rather eat hot death.

Music soothes me therefore, I must be a cow!
