They can live 15 years or more. Beef cattle get butchered before 2 except for females that are used for breeding which is around 12 years. Dairy cows aren't butchered until their milk procuction decreases, usually no more than 6 years. McDonalds buys more "old" dairy cows than anyone I think . Veal is produced using calves fed lots of milk so they are butchered before maturity. Don't eat veal, please.
May have been tipped on one side either by another cow or the farmer (intending to come back and put it back after another task). After that it's almost inevitable. Cows are very curiousity-driven beasties. Which, honestly, wouldn't you be if all your day otherwise entailed was standing in a large salad and sometimes eating some of that salad?
Its a feeding stand, plop a bale of hay into it, keeps the cows from making too much of a mess. But theres no reason for them to have a bottom so dude got up under it.
I mean its not like this happens all the time, plus then youd have to clean a bunch of drool soaked hay out of the bottom corners before putting new hay in instead of just flipping it up and rolling it a few feet. I think right here you can see the pile it was probably originally on top of next to another feeder.
Dude got up under it? It was probably mostly empty and not on perfectly level ground or something and he was monching on some hay sticking out from under the edge and stuck his head under it and just kept going forward until it went up over their back? IDK, cows are big and dumb and its obvs not that very heavy for it. Just this but bigger.
This happened at my uncles farm. He had to take a sledgehammer and bust the bars to get the cows head out. I didn't stay and watch. But the cow was fine after.

Went by one of our local farms last month. One of their cows was laying on top of the feeder. I regret not turning around to get a picture.

"standing in a large salad" - well, huh. Yeah, I guess so

Never how with cows. They're wonderfully stupid. Like big orange cats.

LateNightBunnyParty
...Again, how?
psychologisttheologist
Sounds like maybe there is a reason for it to have a bottom
cosonfused
or beams/braces if weight is an issue.

psychologisttheologist
True, but even a couple of bars across the bottom would prevent this without making cleanup necessary
LateNightBunnyParty
Like, this is a good explanation of what this IS, but...that wasn't the question.

Looks more effective than a horse tank.

The horse tank was fine by late WW1/early inter-war standards, but was quickly outclassed by later designs.
