Grass to Glass-part 1

Cows eat 70 kilograms of grass a day,which keeps

them healthy and strong. And did you know that 70 kg is 70 bowls of noodles? And did you know in the winter they eat silage instead of grass?

Cows have four stomachs, which breaks up all of the grass and into their stomachs. First it goes into their first two stomachs and burp

out the grass and eat it up again which is disgusting.

Milking happens twice a day, it can’t be missed or the cows will be in so much pain. So the cows will be mooing so much they will make the farmers wake up. But If the cows are not milked they will have infections.

Now days milking machines do all the hard work, with suction cup to suck all of the milk out of the cows. In the olden days farmers use their hands to milk the cows.

Living on a farm

Growing up on a farm is hard work. We being looking at cows producing milk and how is milk made from machine.

On a farm I would really like to ride a motorbike. Because in the city you can’t ride a motorbike until you grow up. But in the countryside you could ride anywhere. But I

would ride on the huge fields.

My second choice about what would I do on a farm is to

ride a horse. Riding on a horse would be fun but sometimes you might fall off. One day I went over to whakatane to visit my uncle. He works on a

farm and he has a horse. I ride on the horse

and I fell off.

It has been interesting to learn about what it would be like to live on a dairy farm.
