Today, P4b had a fantastic day at East Bangour Dairy Farm and we learned so much! The trip began with a tour around the calf sheds, where we were taught about how calves are brought up and fed. We were then taken into the milk shed, the farmer showed us where the milk is stored, how the cows stand in the milk pit and we were also able to try out the machine that milks the cows with our fingers.
At the end of the trip we were able to sit in a huge tractor and the farmers then introduced us to one day old baby lambs and we were even allowed to hold them!
We had a brilliant time and it was a fantastic experience! Thank you so much to the staff of East Bangour Farm and Karen from RHET.
