What are you really seeing at Wagner Farm?
What is behind the bucolic facade of a park district's farm.

Here is Rayann, a Holstein cow, heartbroken, depressed and confined to a solitary stall. Imprisoned. Why? Wagner Farm staff must want and need her to be easily accessible so they can get to her when they want to take her to their “milking parlor” where they hook her up to a cold metal machine. This wouldn’t be at all necessary if her baby hadn’t been taken away from her. Her baby could suckle whenever she was hungry. The way nature intended it. Like any loving mother, she wants to give her milk to her baby, NOT to humans via a machine.
Do you see how full Rayann’s udder is in this photo? Imagine how uncomfortable and sometimes even painful it is to lug her FULL udder around until whatever such time Wagner Farm determines is milking time. Have any of our women readers ever experienced the feeling of engorged, milk-filled breasts? If you have, you know how Rayann feels so much of the time. By the way, where is Rayann’s baby?
