On Wednesday, April 18th, the Alabama Dairy Cattle Association's mobile classroom came to AEEC. Ms. Amanda and Petunia the Cow shared a lot of information with us about different types of cows and the importance of drinking milk! We learned that milk has 9 essential vitamins and minerals, and that there are 6 different types of dairy cows. Did you know that the milk from each type of dairy cow is used for different purposes? We learned that a cow must have a calf to make milk and that cow's milk must be pasteurized before we can drink it! Ms. Amanda milked Petunia by hand, and then also hooked her up to a milking machine.
