Got Milk?

On Saturday Matthew was able to go with Dr. Hancock one of the vet teachers at the school to a huge dairy pass Tri-Cities. The dairy milked about 7,000 head of cows two or three times a day. Talk about huge. The only dairy I have ever been to is George's dairy in Cody, Wyoming, and theirs is not even close to the size of this one. Matthew was able to help with bleeding some calves, watch cows give birth, and do some necropsy. The drive to the dairy was about 3 hours from Pullman. I dropped him off at 6 in the morning and he didn't get back till 8:30 that night. He really enjoyed the trip, and the Dr. Hancock was impressed with his work.
