Things I Learned at Wheeler Farm

There are different kinds of milk depending of the type of cow. Brown cows create a more creamy milk, which is better for butter making. Holstein cows produce the milk we usually drink.
Goats eyes are rectangle in shape so they can see all around their head.
Pig are actually one of the cleaner animals. They play in a separate area than they food. They also prefer a separate place to sleep and eat, which is different from their bathroom area too.
