Pull the udder one.
Kids love milk... milk shakes, ice cream, in puddings, on corn flakes.
We just had the chance to see the whole process from grass to glass, up close and personal.
A friend of our uber pal Jeri is the manager of a large dairy farm in Sonoma and we took a bunch of kids to the farm to get a tour and have every question from what is her name, to what the hell is that smell?
The farm is a large one, with 1000 cows (Holstein, Swiss brown and Jerseys) that need milking twice a day. We got to hand feed day old calfs, watch the cows in the milking parlor and the tour was climaxed with the kids being taught to hand milk the spectacularly buxom and placid "Valentine".
Our corn flakes will never be the same again.
