If you click on cows at the bottom it shows a picture of brown and black and white cows,although i would love to see a cow milk itself!

The Holsteins are black and white - the Jerseys are pale brown.

There is a link in hamsters post (#5) to show which 3 are the correct answers, and that leaves the wrong answer.

The correct 'wrong answer' is 3. Mackie’s jersey cows are black and white - because Jersey cows are pale brown

Agreed. I grew up in a farming community in Aberdeenshire which included the Mackies farms. This is the incorrect statement.

right then that probably is right although the cows arn't milking themselves ,a robot machine is doing it (sorry)

Don't feel bad. It was good of you to post the comp and a hard question unless you have some knowledge of farming

Correct Angie, Jersey cows are in the pic and they are brown.and these cows use voluntary access milking, so they DO milk themselves.

the correct answer is definitely 3. Mackie’s jersey cows are black and white as all the others are true & this one is false. The cows do milk themselves if you watch the video, milking robots, at the very end it says that the cows decide when they want to be milked & just walk in & are milked by the computerised robot, they are not herded in

The cows decide when to go and be milked, the machine only does it when they get there, seen it done ..no humans needed and all the robot does is detect when a cow turns up ready and obliges it.

I'm hoping someone invents something similar for cat litter trays
