Ed's grandson, Sean, is six years old, which is a good age to travel because he's old enough to remember experiences. We visited a neighboring farm to see how cows are milked. Linden and Christie Rhodes' dairy operation is presently milking about 100 cows.
Here are Steve, Lorraine and Sean.
Did you ever wonder where the milk is stored until the milk truck comes to pick it up twice a week? It's stored in this 2,400 gallon tank. Now you know!
Touching a deer skull is certainly a new experience!
Sean got a kick out of Morgan holding his fingers out so the calf sucked them and followed him around.
Sean enjoyed petting the calf, which wasn't as scary as he had anticipated.
So, what do cows do between the morning and evening milking times? They loaf in the loafing shed, of course!
There is one concept I don't think Sean quite grasped so, for now we just let him keep thinking that chocolate milk comes from black and white milk comes from white cows.

I will never forget how shocked Levi was when one of his classmates in the 4th grade told him that he was crazy if he believed that chocolate milk comes from brown and black cows. He said he will never forgive us for telling him that. Oh well he turned out just fine in spite of our "little black lie".
