Tarleton Dairy Field Trip
November 6 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
After visiting the Veldhuizen farm in the morning and lunch at the Stephenville City Park, we will head to Tarleton State University’s dairy center to observe their milking process and learn how the cows are cared for and fed.
Cows at the Southwest Regional Dairy Center are milked 3 times daily on a 24-cow rotary milking parlor. Each milking session lasts for approximately 9 minutes while the cow makes one full rotation on the parlor. This type of parlor can help improve efficiency by keeping workers on a timed pace as well as provide a stress free environment for cows.
This field trip is free, but please RSVP by Friday, Oct 16.
