Milking Demonstration
What we do:
With our interactive milking Demo we will bring ‘Brandy’ the milking cow to you and let your children see where milk, cream and butter really come from.
Children will get to see ‘Brandy’ the cow being milked, they will even get to have a turn themselves.
In groups we will show the children how to separate the cream from the milk.
The children will then get to experiment using different methods learning how to make cream into butter.
Finally, Taste Test!
The children will get to taste the butter they have produced, hopefully passing on their new found butter making skill and their understanding of where dairy food comes from to their friends and family.
What We bring:
‘Brandy’ the cow that the children can milk, & her enclosure
1x Trestle table (2.5mx 1m)- for butter making activities
1x Separator- to separate milk and cream
1x Butter Churn- to make butter
2x Egg Beater & plastic tubs- to make butter
2x Plastic Jar & marbles- to make butter
The Enclosure:
We set up a 3m X 3m enclosure for ‘Brandy’ the cow, and a 2.5m X 1m trestle table to put the separator, churn and the butter making equipment on. The trestle table can be set up indoors or out.
Session Times:
Minimum session time with the Milking demonstration is 1 ½ hrs- this will be enough time for 2 groups with a maximum of 25 children in each group. Each extra group will require another 45 minute session.
We have AM and PM sessions available (from 10am or 2pm start), Please phone 1300 760 354 for more information or sessions availability.
