We learned:
Rachael – Cows have passports! It’s to control diseases.
Tara – The cows get milked 3 times a day.
Jay: Cows eat more than 40kg of food every day!
Cody – Brussel sprouts grow in winter. The big new tractor has a heater and a cab for shelter. Mary had to wear a cap and thick gloves because her tractor didn’t have a cab.
Ruaridh – new tractors have a weight on the front so that they don’t tip.
Joshua – the old tractor (made in 1964) couldn’t go out in the dark because it doesn’t have any lights.
Alfie – Cows produce 30 litres of milk a day – that’s a lot of milk!
Joseph – Silage smells disgusting but cows and sheep love it. It’s like pickled grass.
Callum – Sheep have coloured marks. If they go to another farm the farmer will look at the mark and know if it is their sheep.
Dawa – Sheep get coloured dots on their back to say if they are having twins or triplets.
