Elementary School Students Get a Glimpse of Cow Waterbeds

In February 2022, we were visited at our World Ag Expo booth by this group of young journalists. It was a pleasure to talk to them and we loved seeing the article that they wrote. Thanks, to Ms. Alvarado and her students!

Have you ever seen a cow laying on a waterbed? Well if you haven’t, here is your chance to catch a glimpse of what that would look like! D.C.C. Waterbeds manufactures Dual Chamber Cow Waterbeds for cows that helps both the cows and the farmers with the cows health and the milking process.

 Amy Throndsen, the owner of D.C.C. Waterbeds spoke to us at the World Ag Expo and told us more about their invention and how it helps the agricultural industry. “The Waterbed is designed to help reduce heat stress in cows. When warm weather hits, D.C.C. Dual Chamber Cow Waterbeds stay cool and help regulate their body temperatures”, said Amy Throndsen. The Waterbeds also help to keep the cows clean for the milking process, so they aren’t as dirty after laying in the mud as they normally would be.

D.C.C. Waterbeds has been in business since 1999. Being one of a kind, the waterbeds for cows are manufactured and sold worldwide to help the agricultural industry around the globe. The Waterbed offers comfort to the cows and peace of mind to the farmer that their cow will be in tip top shape for the milking process. Daily cleaning was explained as being fast and simple, which is less stressful for the cows and less work for the farmer in the barn as well. This means less material in the manure stream along with less wear and tear on all of the expensive equipment for the farmers. 

Cows are very heavy! Have you been wondering if the cows can break or rupture one of these waterbeds? We wondered the same thing! So, we asked Amy Throndsen if one of the water beds has ever been damaged by a cow. “Typical cow use will not tear down a D.C.C. Waterbed. They can however be damaged by improper use of equipment.” responded Amy Throndsen.

So there you have it. This is the new way to cool down all the cows you see at the dairy farms when you’re driving down those country roads. D.C.C. Dual Chamber Waterbeds for cows seems like such a great solution for such a big problem the farmers and cows face on those hot days in the withering heat.
