Field Trip at the Farm

Today at the farm we had a school come for a tour with around forty pre-k students to learn about the dairy industry. This was a fun and educational day and we spent it walking the kids through the different barns and explaining what we do. Naturally the kids were most excited about seeing the calves in the calf barn. During the tour one of our friendly barn cats followed us and was very intrigued with his reflection in the milk truck! In the past we have had other schools come to the farm, including a few college students and hopefully we will see more in the future!

We shipped 5,566 gallons of milk and had no new babies.
