    6. What are Jet and Today we are going to learn about what Emma going to happens at milking teach us today time
    7. Firstly we are going to tell you about our farm Yes that makes us Do you think different from most everyone knows we other farms in get milked three times Australia. daily ??????? I wont forget to talk about that !!!!!!!
    8. Our farm is located at Jamberoo in NSW. It is on the north east face of Saddleback Mt. Saddleback Mt was once a volcano and the soil is very rich basalt.
    9. Its very steep Can you see my friends??
    10. 50% of the farm is rainforest The farm is very beautiful and we want to make sure it looks like this for my grand calves
    11. We are part of the “Cleaner Greener Dairying Sustainable Farming” Network
    12. and the Small Farms Network You can read a Clover Hill Dairies sustainable farming case online http://www.smallfarms.net.au/Projects%20&%20Grants.html#CWG
    13. To protect the rainforest and waterways our cows travel backwards and forwards from the dairy on laneways we have built just for them.
    14. Our cows are Holsteins – also known as Friesians Holsteins are black and white cows that produce lots of milk When they first came to Australia people called them Magpie cows http://nutrition.natfoods.com.au/st_cowfacts.html
    15. Illawarra Cattle Hi . My name is Doris. I won the All Australian Aged Cow competition in 1989 • Before we changed to Holstein cattle in the late 1990’s our farm had a long tradition of breeding Illawarra Cattle http://www.lbcentre.com.au/Illawarra_Cattle_Society_Australia.php
    16. Adapted from “How Now Aussie Cow” – Dairy Australia
    17. Our cows are very big and we have sourced our cow bloodlines (genes) from North America FYI Holstein, refers to animals traced from North American bloodlines, while Friesian refers to indigenous European black and white cattle
    18. Okay. If I am a Holstein and Holsteins are black and white and we only have Holsteins on our farm. What breed of cow is my best friend ?????? Can Holsteins be red and white ??????
    19. Now you have all the background stuff I think I can hear Nick coming on the bike now !!!!!!! Nick’s the boss – Its time to get he is the farm milked manager
    20. Okay girls its time to get milked
    21. So what's the first thing that happens ???? All the girls head to the water trough
    22. Nick always makes sure we have plenty of time to have a big drink of water
    23. Did you know cows drink over 100 litres of water a day – that’s a bathtub full
    24. And there is always someone who decides at the last minute to go back for seconds !!!!!
    25. Before we go out onto the road Jet puts out the “Cows Ahead” sign. This lets all the people using the road know they have to slow down because we have right of way on our farm Cows are Cool – Don’t you agree????
    26. And we’re off !!! Today its just a short trip to the dairy. Sometimes cows have to walk 2km to the dairy and back.
    27. And this is where we are going to get milked Can you see all the silos and the hay shed ?? Can you spot the tractor ???
    28. Come on my little friend. If you are telling this story you better catch up. Whoops! More action less talk.
    29. Back on track!!!!!! You will notice my friends and me prefer to walk on the grass on the side of the road. Why do you think that is ???
    30. Cows like to walk slowly in a long line . Often the same cow leads the herd home each day. She is pretty clever as she is first in the dairy and first back in the paddock and gets all the best grass.
    31. We have a 270 degree view of the ocean whilst we wait to get milked.
    32. The holding yard is shaded by 200 year old Morton Bay figs
    33. We have planted over 500 native grasses and shrubs around our dairy to reduce the amount of Carbon Dioxide (green house gas) that can escape into the atmosphere http://www.olliesworld.com/planet/aus/info/info/air09.htm
    34. We have a new herringbone dairy which is 14 aside. This means we can milk 28 cows at a time
    35. Putting a mat on the floor helps stop the farmers getting sore feet. Can you read the word on the floor mat??? Hint: its part of our stud logo.
    36. We get milked three times daily and lots of people come to watch
    37. Its all a matter of timing • We start at 4am in the morning milk again at 12pm and again at 8pm at night. • It is very important that cows spend most of the day on the pasture and not standing on concrete. • To do this on our farm we complete each milking in 2 hrs. • One person gets the cows in and the other person starts milking. This means the first 28 cows to the dairy go straight in and get milked and then straight back to the paddock.
    38. Our cows produce a lot of milk and hold Australian records for milk production. This is Dimples. She holds the record for the highest amount of fat and protein produced in 305 days. http://www.princeton.edu/~pccm/outreach/scsp/mixturesandsolutions/milk/index.html
    39. Can you see the strips - we are going in this paddock tonite The cows go into a different paddock after each milking. We pick the paddocks which have the best balance of feed components (energy, protein, fibre, and minerals) for the cows and we strip graze them. Strip grazing is a grazing management system that involves giving the livestock a fresh allocation of pasture each day. It is usually organised within a paddock grazing system and the animals are controlled by the use of an electric fence.
    40. Now here’s lots of delicious sweet grass. That’s a good idea. Nick I am going to take some loves ice-cream. He is ice-cream to the dairy and always sneaking one of ask Nick if we can be in this Emma’s from the freezer. paddock tomorrow.
