Cows in the Heat Wave | Fresno News
Description
When the heat hits triple digits in the Central Valley, Fresno State’s dairy unit doesn’t panic—they keep milking like business as usual. But these Dutch-born Holstein cows? They’re not built for this kind of furnace. Heat stress isn’t just uncomfortable—it can alter calf DNA, slashing future milk potential. So the team cools them down with shade, giant fans, and high-tech “bolus” trackers that monitor internal temps in real time. For them, these aren’t just animals—they’re family, and comfort is non-negotiable, no matter how hot it gets.
