P1 Farm Visit
P1 visited Smallholmburn Farm this week as part of their farming topic. Farmer Stewart showed them how to milk cows and they were lucky to see an Arla tanker and learn what happens to milk when it leaves the farm. Vet Ian gave a scan to an expectant cow. It looks like everyone had a fantastic time.
