The Brotons have been so helpful on the farm these past few weeks! The farm is near the West Coast in a place called Maxwell, anout 30mins drive from Wanganui. On the farm there is about 200 cows which get milked every morning around 5.30am and again every afternoon around 3.30pm. Because it's coming up to winter the cows haven't got much longer to milk. In July they will calve and start milking again. One afternoon we hopped in the car with Riley and away we went. Riley tried to eat the Brotons, but fortunately for the Brotons, Mummy said no.
We got the cows in from their paddock, and even had a go at riding the motorbike.
After we got the cows in, we milked them all. We got a little bit dirty, but luckily we were able to have a wash afterwards.
While the cows get milked they have Palm Kernal to eat, they love it!
After milking was finished, we helped hose down.
Unfortunately when we got back to Taupo we realised Mummy Broton had had a wee accident with her hair. We're not sure where, please don't tell the labour department. I'm sure Mummy Broton will have a new and improved do by the time the next blog is up.
Thanks so much for coming to stay, we enjoyed showing you around!
