Shatto Milk Company

Today we drove to Osborn, MO to take a tour of Shatto Milk Company. It was a gorgeous 70 degree day to be on a dairy farm.

Bottling Shatto milk

Cows hooked up to the milking machines

Each cow produces gallons of milk a day because they are milked three times in one day.

We even got to put our thumbs in a clean (I think) milking machine to see how it feels.

All four of us got to milk a cow for the first time.  Here is Cass!!

I did it!  Milk actually came out!!

This calf was born last night so he was only a few hours old when we saw him.

Sampling yummy cheeses and butter made at Shatto Milk Company.  We also sampled different flavored milk: root beer milk, coffee milk, cotton candy milk, chocolate milk, birthday cake milk, strawberry milk and banana milk.

Of course we had to purchase items at the country store.  We bought root beer milk, birthday cake milk, lemonade, fruit punch and cheese curds.

On the way home we ate lunch at Grandstand Burgers.

Now it is movie time and homemade lemon mojitos.
