When we think about dairy, it is easy to immediately think about a cow. Although this the largest percentage of our milk comes from, there are also other animals that produce milk. Today in Enrichment Bunch, our students learned first hand the ins and outs of cows and goats as it pertains to milking, breeds, and much, much more! Here is what we learned.
"I learned how to milk a goat."-Molly
"I learned how to feed a goat a treat. You have to keep your hand flat so they don't eat your hand."-Maddy
"I learned the different breeds of cows. They include Holstein, Jersey, Milking Short Horn, Guernsey, Ayshire, and Brown Swiss."-Griffin
"After you milk a goat, the milk is foamy and it doesn't look like milk that we buy in the store."-Timmy
"I learned that during this time of year, goats produce about two pounds of milk per milking."-Chesney
"Goats get "dried off" three months before they have their kid or kids so all of their energy can go towards the baby. Kid is the name for a baby goat and a baby cow is called a calf."-Curtis
"Milking a goat is harder than I thought it would be."-Addison
"Lactose intolerante people can sometimes drink goat milk because it is easier to digest than cow milk."-Mrs. Bossard
