I think this one is not well written because it violates parallelism.

E is parallel; "provided" and "milked" are participles (verb forms used as adjectives).

The farmer keeps them cool...provided...and milked. Three adjectives.

This is a simple if you can find the clues in the non-underlined portion "them" --> cows (plural subject) --> produce (plural verb)

Bill are you trying to say


For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool,
For the farmer who takes care to keep them provided with high energy feed
For the farmer who takes care to keep them milked regularly,

Thanks Bill i understood , got the sentence framing all wrong in my head.

E sound fine its like

For farmers who takes care to keep them cool ,(provided with high-energy food , milked regularly , hoiusten cows will produce 2275 gallons of milk per year).

understanding the first part took time.
