When you’re stuck indoors during the frigid winter months with ice and snow piling up outside, you can’t wait for spring to come. This perspective is also valid for animals. Spring fever is legal, particularly in places like the Netherlands, which has about four million head of cattle; Half of them are dairy cows.
Thanks to the heavy rainfall the area receives, its grassy pastures are covered with lush green grass, but when it gets cold, everything changes. Since it is very cold in the Netherlands in winter, cattle must be dragged away from their favorite pastures to hang out inside barns where it is warm and where they receive a constant supply of hay.
