Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Dear Rabindranath Prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisences. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. These facts need updated. Thier current pamphlet is closer to being correct. I will speak with someone at the temple today. Thank you for the heads up. Currently there is only 1 milking cow. The bull died several years ago. The grazing and hay land is closer to 600 acres. The herd count is 123. Last year was the 1st year that NV didnt have to buy hay from outside sources for many years. just a couple of corrections. ys, Balabhadra das Visit us at: www.iscowp.org > [Original Message] > Rabindranatha (das) ACBSP (Los Angeles, CA - USA) <Rabindranatha.ACBSP (AT) pamho (DOT) net> > Cow (Protection and related issues) <Cow (AT) pamho (DOT) net> > 7/5/2004 4:50:04 PM > New Vrindaban's cows > > I read this off New Vrndavana's website > http://www.newvrindaban.com > > Did You Know... > · that New Vrindaban has 173 cows and 40% are oxen? > · that we have one bull and 5 milking cows? > · that 95% of our cows are Holsteins? > that our cows give an average of 6 pounds of milk per day, > · and the entire herd produces approximately 20,530 pounds per year? > That's almost 2,500 gallons of milk annually! > · that if this pure, organic milk was sold in Health Food Stores at > $5.50 a gallon, the community would receive $13,750 per year? > · that our cows are and average of 13-15 years old? > · that Holsteins can live up to 20 years? > · that cows can first breed between 15 and 18 months of age? > · that cows go into heat every 21 days? > · that one bale of hay weighs 800 pounds? > · that cows can eat 40 pounds of hay per day? > · that our cows produce 3.2 metric tons of manure for Krishna's > garden? > · that we use 7,500 acres of land to graze? > · that we have 18 miles of fence to protect these cows? > · that our cows are off the pastures eating bales of hay 120 days per > year? > · this winter the cows will eat 10 bales of hay each day?
