Dairy Week Field Trip

Yesterday, we took a field trip to a dairy farm. Since we have been focusing on all things dairy, we ventured down to a local farm to see where our milk comes from.

We were welcomed in the holding barn. There, we learned about where the cows live, what they eat, and how the farm works.

We got up close and personal with some cows.

We saw some calves and even got to pet them.

The calves were five days old.

We learned about different dairy foods and the importance of getting three servings of dairy a day.

We played a memory game with different dairy items.

We went to the milk house to see where the milk is stored.

We saw the milking parlor where the cows get milked.
