We went to the Mt Albert Grammer School Farm. We met Farmer Larney and he showed us around the farm. First we all had a go milking Brownie and Girl. That really helped us answer our question!
When you milk a cow you have to pull gently on their teats. That is how people milked cows before dairy farms used milking cups.
Next we met the piglets and calves. Farmer Larney fed the calves cows milk and they suckled from rubber teats. We loved being able to explore and get our hands on the farm animals!
Last we watched Farmer Larney shear a sheep. You have to be strong for that! Farmer Larney said his favourite part of the day was answering our questions.
Thankyou parent helpers for coming with us and helping out in so many ways.
Thankyou Farmer Larney for being our expert and letting us visit your farm.
