Here are a few things we learned while at the farm.
Heifers are girl cows that haven't had babies yet.
They have 260 cows at the farm.
One cow produces about 9 gallons of milk.
The big metal container holds 2500 gallons of milk.
They feed the cows corn, soybeans and grass.
All of their milk is taken to Bongards creameries.
here is a link to a short video of the farm. The file for the video was so large I had difficulty working out how to attach it to blogger. Mr Billadeau came to the rescue today with the option below.
