Moos!


Eric, Sophia, and I went to our first dairy farm a few weeks ago. Pretty impressive experience actually. The farm we went to produces 1.2 tons of milk every 2 days. They ship it out to a plant in NY (Frigo I think) to make string cheese. We were there during milking, so we got to see a few rounds of cows come in the parlour to get milked. We also got to pet the calves. (Do you pet calves? Well, you know what I mean!)

But the highlight of the trip was the ice cream. Nothing like tying it all together. Cows make milk and milk makes ice cream! What more do you need to know?

Grandpa Dar would have loved to be there. He would have been able to give you all the details as to dairy farming.

Grampa Dar: Eric, a day on the farm is not complete unless you stepped in cow doo doo, did you?

Hey Eric - did you ask the farmer to see his implement?
