This week we went with our home school group to a dairy farm here in Indiana. It was amazing. It is home to about 30,000 cows that each get milked at least 3 times a day. Its a 24/7 365 days a year operation.
We got too see two live births. Boy were the questions flying! Davis said he's glad he's a boy and never has to do that...
Above is a young calf.
Here is the milking parlor. There are 10 of these on the farm. Each cow is on the carousel for 7 minutes, 3 times a day to be milked. They filed in and out like professionals! The cows that is...
Davis tried his hand at milking...
At the end of the day, the kids got to jump on this huge jumping pillow. The moms laughed that we drove 2 hours for them to like this the best.
What a fun day!

Kelly, I've heard about this farm! I'm glad to know you all enjoyed it too. We'll have to make a trip that way in the near future. I'm afraid my poor girls will have a different reaction after seeing the cows give birth, however. ;)
