Les vaches

BC Dairy Farms came to our school today and brought a cow! The farmers talked about what cows eat, their age compared to humans, how it is milked, and what they can do with the milk (make yogurt, cheese, ice cream, etc). It was such a great experience.

This mama cow was 6 years old. 60 years old in cow years. She has about one calf a year.

This was the machine they used to milk the cow. It takes about 4-5 mins from start to finish.

The milk was filling up the glass container you see on the right.

This was the baby cow. She was about 4 weeks old.

She will start having babies of her own when she is 2 (20 human years)
