One of my all-time favorite motivation speakers, the late Zig Ziglar, says he and his Mom used to sing to their cows every day when they milked. Zig said he and his Mom made money when he was a child by taking "average" milk-producing cows and caring for them so well, as to include singing to them, etc., that the cows production was reliably increased. At that point, they re-sold the cows for more money based upon their "new" increased production.
I've heard this before that the production of animals, whether cows, chickens, etc., will increase if/when the animals are relaxed, happy, etc.
I'm curious if any of you have experienced this, first-hand? Are there any documented studies that support this idea/concept or do you think it's a bunch of hooey?
