WHY WONT MY COW EAT?
ONE OF THE REASONS
Smell helps cattle to determine what to eat. THEY ARE FUSSY EATERS and rely on their noses. They do not like wet hay or grain and often refuse feed that looks OK to a human, just because it smells different.
A cow that has never had grain may refuse to eat it.
Weather hot or cold affects cattle and can cause them to loose weight.
