Cows are naturally aggressive when it comes to eating. But even that can be tempered by not having enough resting time. Based on actual observations of cow behavior by Rick Grand, president of the W.H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute in Chazy, N.Y., has developed the following time budget for animals in free-stall housing:
EATING - 3 to 5 hours per day
LYING DOWN/RESTING - 12 to 14 hours per day
STANDING/WALKING IN ALLEY - 2 to 3 hours per day
DRINKING - 30 minutes per day
