o cows prefer metal or Mahler? Hard rock or hip hop? Indie rock or Irish folk? They must love 1980s cowpunk, right? The answer will soon be found as a call has been issued to musical people to compose something original for dairy-producing cows. The BC Dairy Association (BCDA) has created a not-too-serious competition entitled Music Makes More Milk, which takes as its premise the observation among dairy farmers that cows respond positively to music. “A happy cow is a productive cow,” BCDA spokesperson Marcus Wong told the Times. “When cows are relaxed, they are able to do what they do best.

Music Makes More Milk contestants will use an online music composition tool to create original songs to play for the cows. The tunes of 15 semi-finalist contestants—determined through a public voting system—will have their compositions played directly to Hoogendoorn’s cows. The milk production from each day’s music will be calculated to determine the grand prize winner, who will receive a trip for four to the 55th annual Grammy
Awards next February. The winner will get four tickets to the event, four economy airfare tickets, two nights accommodation and $1,000 in spending money. There are other prizes for all semi-finalists and finalists as well. In order to prime the cows for the contest, an accomplished quartet of classically trained musicians—led by Coast Symphony Orchestra conductor Edette Gagné—visited Hoogendoorn’s Valedoorn Farm earlier this month and performed an “opening act” of Mozart numbers. ◗ T h e s i x - we e k c o n t e s t launched on Oct. 10 at www. musicmakesmoremilk.com.
