There is an also a section that is covered with milk caps. Inside are little pillows to symbolize the bedding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592f9a7e4b036bdbac03f19/ff194af4-773f-4359-b548-4666222fdc86/milking+station.jpg Windows into Wonderment - Learning about Manure at the Haubenschild Family Farm - Make it stand out This section shows the cows lined up to milked. One of the most incredible parts of my field trip was seeing the cows come in and turn around to be milked - it seemed like they really had the process down! Brian told me that new cows get placed between old timers so they learn from each other. I also created a version of the cooling tank that the milk goes through- It was amazingly small- but the milk just moves through and then heads straight out to the tankers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592f9a7e4b036bdbac03f19/6c3846fa-61f9-417a-a3e4-441c8873a5f1/farm+house.jpg Windows into Wonderment - Learning about Manure at the Haubenschild Family Farm - Make it stand out This section shows the fields where they grow feed for their cows. You will also see a hamburger press in the top corner- this is a nod to the male cows that become hamburgers- it’s all part of the process!
