Milk and Doughnuts

Everyone had the chance to bottle feed the new calf.

After our study of the American Breadbasket, it seemed appropriate to take a visit to our local dairy and bakery.  Students bottle fed a 9 day old calf, milked a cow, and learned about the daily operations of a dairy farm.

Drew tries his hand at milking a cow the old fashion way.  Kenny offered him a summer job!

When we arrived at the bakery, Roger had some cakes just about to come out of his BIG oven.  We watched a batch of cake doughnuts specially made for us fry up in his automated frier.  Then we settled down for a delicious snack of milk and doughnuts.  Yummy!

Wow!  So that's how they get the hole in the middle!

Is it snack time yet?

Thank you to Kyle VanCleave and Charlotte Holt for coming along and helping to supervise!

Here are some student reflections on the day.
