Cow cocoons were first used in Canada around the turn of the century. These first cocoons didn’t have enough hay around the cows, and many cows died during the cold winter months. Not one to give up, a plucky farmer named Jim tried again, this time with 2 tons of hay and 2 cows. He wrapped the cows up in the hay, tied it all up and left it for the winter.
In the spring, he noticed that the cows had not yet eaten their way out and decided to cut open the cocoons. Much to his dismay, he had discovered that you can’t tie the cows up before you put them in the cocoons.
