Learning About Cows, Sheep, and Goats

We have been very fortunate to have a farm educator visiting our classroom the last two weeks.  She has taught us so much about cows, sheep, and alpacas.  Here are some of the highlights from her lessons:

• Cows and Sheep have a large tongue and no top teeth
• Cows drink 60 gallons of water a day
• Cows, Sheep, and Goats have 4 stomachs
• Cows have 4 teats and goats and sheep have 2 teats 
• the process of how wool is made
• Learning about Holstein, Jersey, and Black Angus Cows

The children had fun making butter and cheese.  We are very excited to visit the farm tomorrow!
