Today, April 14, I was able to go the dairy barn. Although I have heard about the diary barn, I have never taken the time to go there. My time there was a very pleasant one. Through, the Cornell Teaching Dairy Barn, I learned some interesting facts about the way the cows at Cornell are feed and housed. For one thing, the metabolic process of the cows require a lot of energy. The energy used is about the same energy a human being uses to jog a long distance. Since their metabolic process requires at lot of energy, they need to eat a lot of food.

Another thing I learned, was that the sand beds are designed in a way that allows the cows to remain as clean as possible. One thing that add to my overall experience was seeing the baby calfs. I thought the calfs to be really adorable.
