Farm visits
Today we have been around looking at some farms in the area, once a year organised by the community, some farms open up for anyone to come and see animals and the work they do there. We went to 4 different places and seen cows milked by robots, had our hands licked by little calves, sitting in tractors, seen free range hens (and bought their eggs), seen horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, geese, hens etc and the finale was when we saw a dog rounding up the cows to bring them back to the farm. What a lovely and eventful day!
J said the calf was soooo cute and she just wanted to cuddle with it
Big kiss for J

My favourite part of the day was the farm with the milking robots where the cows decide themselves when to be milked, they just go to the milking bay where a robot washes the udder and attaches the milking device. The cows have a microchip that opens gates around the farm letting them into the milking bay, out of it, into the feeding area or outside to the grass. Really interesting and modern! The kids loved the opportunity to "drive" the tractors. J liked to be licked on her hand by the calf, while the more reserved (read cowardly ;)) A didnt really dare to put out his hands as an offer for them to lick though with some help he did do it at the last farm :D
