A scratch brush adds to cow comfort at the Moonlight Dairy near Alcester, S.D., owned and operated by Josh and Lyndsey Windquist. Josh Windquist said the cows really enjoy the brush and sometimes are lined up two to three deep to be able to use it. “There’s seldom a time that it’s not being used,” he said. It’s part of the effort to keep the cows happy to increase milk production. It also helps keep the cows clean.
