robplum: Ali the Swiss farmers used Brown Swiss to plough there fields. I brushed all 27 cows each cow in a barn every day, removed the poo, fed and milked Brown Swiss cows in Switzerland while i was traveling around the world.
I do have one photo someone gave took for me of the barn and the same cow herd.

At another location up in the Swiss Alps i stayed in a village called Bivio, there the farmers took there cows up into the high peaks during warmer weathe,r and brought them back down to spend the winter in the village. A few farmers i knew in the Swiss during the winter housed there cows under their house, they fed them hay and still milked them, the farmer carried the milk on his back to the local cheese man who made yogurt and cheese with it. The cows helped to keep the house warm I found it a very fascinating country.

First two images of the countryside in Switzerland taken during a warmer time than the time i visited.
Then image of cows been let out of the barn to enjoy bit of outside time during winters day.
Then image of what was my orchard and place i had 27 Brown Swiss in NSW Australia.
Last image is photo of a show winning Brown Swiss cow in Wales in the UK' enjoy
v good post and fantastic cow in the last pic , looks like a high quality breed must be producing plenty of milk .

the farming operations are not that much effected as Fresh produce markets are opened as well as the cargo transportation , the rates are slightly effected becoz of less consumption due to lockdown .
