One of Many Updates: Fair Oaks Farm

Okay here comes one of many updates.  Since my last post (in March) we have been quite busy.

In April since Benny was studying cows in school, we decided to visit a dairy farm.  We traveled to Indiana to the Fair Oaks Farm.  We got to see a baby cow being born, how they make butter and how they milk the cows.

 That is one big ear of corn!

 A mommy cow and her newborn calf!  Benny and I watched the birth of the calf.  Due to the amount of cows, they birth about 80 calves a day.

 Our bus to visit the cows and see the milking barn.

 The cows enter the big wheel and by the time they get off, they are done milking.  Doesn't take but a few minutes.  Each cow is milked twice a day.

 Some of the new calves.  They only keep the female calves and sell the male calves.

The boys had a lot of fun and we hope to go back.  Supposedly they added pigs to their farm so we will have to go back to see them.
