An undercover film taken at a farm in south west England by the animal welfare group Compassion in World Farming shows cows being kept in a ‘zero grazing’ intensive production system. Sean Poulter in The Daily Mail writes that they are effectively ‘udders on legs’. Zero grazing systems make it easier to keep breeds of cattle the CiWF object to, like Holsteins, to maximise milk yields.
