Fun on the Farm!

My mom, sister, brother, and I (sadly, hubbies had to work) all went to one of the biggest dairy farms in the country. Why you ask? :-) Well, Kelly's friend, Jenny, lives on the farm and said we could come by any time and she would give us a tour! She was so sweet and such a wonderful tour guide. Let me tell you, it was literally a life changing experience. I will definitely not look at milk the same! :-) It is incredible the amount of work that goes into making milk. Jenny told us there are around 8,000 cows on that farm alone! Pretty amazing! In one visit, we were able to visit all the new baby calfs (even ones that were only a few hours old and already standing... a little shaky in the knees, but standing!!), see a mama deliver her baby, milk a cow, and learn all the ins and outs of taking care of one of the country's largest dairy farms! It was truly amazing and very fun! Quite the experience I will never forget! :-)
