DAVIS COUNTY — Students touring Hamblin Dairy this week learned about more than why sheep are sheared and how the protein in beef builds muscle.
They learned why farms are important and what ranchers do to keep America’s food supply safe and independent.
For two days every year, first and second graders are invited to Davis County’s last remaining dairy farm to see where food comes from and what it takes to keep it coming.
They get a chance to watch a sheep being sheared and to touch a llama, goats, sheep, turkey and new-born calves “if they’ll let you.”
