Hi, I live here in Upper Hutt and my new entrants class is learning about milk; where is comes from, what it is, and what it can make. We will be making butter and yogurt this term. We would love to make cheese and see a cow milked up close. Is there anyone out there who can help me out!

A class trip to see Biddy out of Masterton with her house cows and cheese making room would be good.

Thanks, I googled her and it is a little too far to travel. I will show my class her website though. I love how she names her cows.

Lots of farmers name their cows, maybe not all of them in the big herds, but we had 575 of them at one stage and a good few of them had names, mostly to do with their personality or how they looked.like we had a very tall mostly white cow.so she was called Larry, for Larry Bird the american basketball player, we had a mouse because she was small and brown, a weka, because she was very nosey, Candy because she was sweet, lots and lots of names.

Post in farming, they may be able to help. good on you, as kids seem to think milk comes from a bottle only.I know my sister use to have school classes coming to her lifesyle block, where they got to feed a lamb, have a go at milking a goat etc. As a kid, we had classes come to our farm to see sheep being shorn, dogs rounding up sheep etc, kids had a ball. Some of them had never seen a sheep or cow in their life.
