South West Dairy Farmers

On Wednesday, April 18th, the students were called outside to watch a presentation from SouthWest Dairy Farmers. They learned all about dairy and the various types of cows. The students learned where milk comes from, how to milk a cow, about the utters, and even got to watch a representative show them the steps of getting milk. At the end of the presentation, the students were shown how the milking machines are attached to the cow's utters and how the cow can produce up to 120 pounds of milk at one time.We learned that cows have 1 calf ever year. The students enjoyed learning from the dairy farmers and did a great job participating!
