Ellie and Della visit Bay View



Students at Bay View today watched a moo-ving assembly today.  Through the help of the Dairy Council of California, two Holstein dairy cows, Ellie and Della visited the school campus and transformed the playground into an urban farm.   By watching Ellie and Della eat, students learned where their dairy comes from and the unique anatomy of dairy cows and other cud chewers.  Students also observed the work entailed in caring, feeding, and milking dairy cow.  The most favorite part for many was the unique chance to pet Della, the two and a half week old calf.  Bay View would like to thank Jerry and the Dairy Council for bringing Ellie and Della to Bay View!
