Referencing

Look I know how to reference, and I did it all through college but doing it in Uni is killing me. Having to use scholarly articles is actually proving impossible. I've searched "health care of intensively farmed dairy cows" a million different ways but I can't find anything useful. I know the information; I just need a reference to back myself up. If I could reference as "I just know" it would be so much easier. Any advice please?

break your topic down into individual ideas. healthcare of cows is a silly idea - researchers don't investigate 'healthcare' they investigate targeted aspects of healthcare, such as diet/environment/medication

There's a website called something like cite for me.
You copy and paste your essay and it references everything for you.

That's what university is about; teaching you the skills to find the right information. I know it's frustrating but everything you know comes from somewhere. And even if you have a thought about something, you need to provide evidence to back up that thought. If you can't find anything, you can't use it.
