Cows Are Kept Inside Barn For 6 Months, Footage When They're Set Free Goes Viral

When you are stuck indoors during the freezing cold winter months with ice and snow piling up outside, you cannot await the arrival of spring. This outlook holds true for animals, too. Spring fever is legitimate, especially in places like the Netherlands, which is home to approximately four million cattle; half of those are dairy cattle.

Thanks to the ample rainfall the area receives, their grassy pastures are blanketed with lush green grass, but when it turns cold, everything changes. Because it gets so cold in the wintertime in the Netherlands, the cattle have to be dragged away from their favorite pastures to hang out inside barns where it's toasty warm and they receive a constant supply of hay.
