Last month, all the first graders visited the Dakin Dairy Farm in Myakka to learn all about how milk gets from the cow to our table. Take a look at a few of the highlights from our day at the farm!
This is where all the "ladies" hang out when they're not being milked.
Their beds consist mostly of sand because it's the cleanest and softest material for them.
Time for the milking to begin!
Lilly, Delaney, Nathan, Mason, and Isaiah have a front row seat for the show!
Then it was time to feed the babies.
Taylor makes friends with a little calf.
Go piggies, go! Blue wins!
(That was actually a little more aggressive than I care to remember.)
Sean and his mom gather their seed, dirt, and pot... time to plant!
Time to make butter! Josiah hands off the jar of cream to Bryson.
The boys take turns shaking the cream until it turns into butter!
Being a dairy farmer is very hard work! Time to relax. Zzzzz.
Bryson, Gregory, and Zachary... having a great time!
Grace, Kate, and Isabella sit and wait for the hayride.
Where is that tractor?
