Visit to the Dairy

Davis and I finally got out to the dairy yesterday! I haven't been there since 2000. They now have over 2000 cows. Uncle David and cousins Katie and Carly showed Davis and I around.



One of the many pens of cows during feeding time. This is about half way down the "pen" and there are feeding gates running down both sides of the road.




Davis was a little unsure of all the cows at first so Greg had to carry him.


Davis got to ride in the feeding truck with Greg and Uncle Dave. He kept pointing to all the cows and mooing. (I know- no seat belt...the truck only goes 5 mph between the rows of cows.)



After Dave was done feeding we all went to the nursery where all the baby cows were. This brown cow is just a few hours old! Once they are checked, they are placed in these holding pens until they are returned to their mothers.



This baby cow was also just a few hours old. He still had the wobbly legs like you see on the nature shows.
