Field trip today with my 10yr old. It was a good day! We went to a dairy farm and then a beef farm. There is so much to feeding those animals! Its amazing! I thought they just kind of made food for them from the crops they grow and feed it to them!
Guess what?? They don’t! They have a mix for each group of cows! Its really a science! I actually found that quite fascinating– I know.. weird..
Unfortunately, now I really want a little brown jersey cow.. They are sooooo CUTE!!!!! They are even pretty as adults! We will have to see about that one.
Here are some pics from the day!
Blessings!!

learning about milking the cows. They can give about 5lbs of milk at a milking!!!!
Looking out at the beef herd. Cute black and brown steers!! That lick their own noses! No, we couldn’t do that too!Look at all the ingredients for the feed!!Snack time and a lesson about no till practices and agribusiness careers.

My blog is about my life with 9 kids in various stages, from adults to 10 years old and now, grandma. I also write about gardening, our horses and chickens and dogs. I am an aspiring author who has a few projects in the works and hopefully, will have something published in the next year or so.
I hope you enjoy my blog and come back and visit from time to time.
