Show BATHTUB FOR COWS SAVES DAIRY WORK Dairy farmer Bob Rogers of Solano County, Calif., has built a cow bathtub. It is concrete, 40 feet long, and slopes gradually to a depth of 2 feet in the center. Cows coming in at milking have to wade through the water-filled tub to get to the wash-down barn. Rogers says: "It's amazing how much dirt this short wade takes off the feet, legs, udders, and bellies bel-lies of the cattle. What doesn't come off is loosened, so washing is an easy job."
