Dairy Field trip

We had a fun field trip today- even though it rained on us. Our homeschool group had a field trip to Tuleview Dairy planned for today. So we jumped at the chance to get out.
Learning all about the milking process.
Doodle was quite fascinated with the whole milking machines, and how automated it is. The machine stops when it's done, records what cows were milked, how much milk each cow gave.
We got to go see the baby calves too. They were pretty cute- Bug says he wants a pet calf- but he wants it to stay little and cute....told him it doesn't work that way....they grow up...(just like kids! lol)
Roo petting the baby calf. He thought that was the coolest part.
