For half of our Co-Op we learned about farm life on a dairy farm. Obviously farms were not like they are today but it still gave them a memorable experience. The kids could touch the cows and ask any questions they wanted to. They learned how the farm was run.
We learned about the milk and how the calf is bottle fed a few days after it is born. The kids put their ears up to the tank to listen to the milk getting turned inside.
We can't forget the smaller critters at the farm! This potato bug is very happy to live here.
Of course where there is an abundance of milk there must be cats! This young cat is pregnant and Zoe is feeling her tummy.
We found these cats in a large plastic barrel. The kids just had to hold the kittens.
The kittens made many new friends that day.
Can't leave anyone out. The mother cat got a great deal of attention.
As we gathered up the kids and left the barn we said "goodbye" to this black cat sleeping high up on this pile of hay bails.
What's a homeschool trip to the farm without a splash in the mud?!
