Cone cows are traditional home-made toys once popular at least in Finland. Cone cows were made by children using material found in the nature. The most common design is a spruce or pinecone with sticks for legs, which can easily be attached by forcing them between the cone scales. Playing with cone cows usually involved building an animal enclosure from sticks. For the most part, cone cows have been displaced by manufactured toys, at least in affluent countries.

Gestating cows were fed an average 58 days to document feed waste, cow performance (weight gain, ultrasound fat depth change, body condition score change and hay intake), labor inputs, and feeding time, which were subsequently used to develop an economic analysis.
Feeding costs per cow in the 100 head analysis model for rolling out bales, shredding bales with a processor and feeding bales in a tapered-cone feeder were $113.90, $128.10, and $101.80, respectively.
Cows in the study were weighed, visually condition scored, and measured for fat depth using real-time ultrasound at the beginning, middle, and end of the study.
Cows eating from the cradle feeder had about 3 times as much butting and displacement behavior as other feeder types and four times as many entrances compared to cows feeding at the other type of feeders.
Pregnant cows were fed for a period of 58 days to document feed waste, and cow performance (weight gain, ultrasound fat depth change, body condition score change and hay intake).
Feeding costs per cow in the 100 head herd for rolling out bales, shredding bales with a processor and feeding bales in a tapered-cone feeder were $97.99, $107.44, and $85.36, respectively.
