Don"t know much about dairy cows, but do know that what is "desirable" changes year to year, judge to judge.

We used to tie calves up to the MD and walk them (4 at a time, tied to F10 loader cross brace on back) 1 mile a day. When a person then pulled the rope, they followed because they were trained that they didn"t have a choice.
