The cows look like usual dairy cows to me. I lived on the huge dairy farm
for a while. Skeletal was considered normal. Because the cows are milked
much more than they would produce for a calf, fed dry food and yes, tend to
get sick a lot. Since they are not meat cows they are fed differently.
On the other hand we got our milk from Amish, where the same, black and
white cows looked fat and happy. They were milked 2 times a day, grazed in
the field and were treated much, much better.
To me the whole idea is pretty offensive. I keep thinking human DNA is for
humans.
