Wakeup Wisconsin anchors learn how to milk cow for Dairy Month

The staff at Dutch Dairy LLC work hard to take care of the cows.

THORP, Wis. (WAOW) — To round out June Dairy Month, our Wake Up Wisconsin anchors Brittany Slaughter and Sadie Fisher visited Dutch Dairy LLC in Thorp to learn the ins-and outs of working on a dairy farm.

The Dutch Dairy LLC family gave Wakeup Wisconsin anchors Brittany and Sadie a look at day-to-day life on a dairy farm.

Amy, Sander, and Ethan gave News 9 the full experience - from how to dress with bright orange overalls to day-to-day life.

Dutch Dairy LLC provided the perfect outfit for Brittany and Sadie to learn how to milk a cow.

The anchors started with meeting the adorable calves and got to bottle feed them electrolytes. Brittany and Sadie made fast friends with the sweet animals.

Next up, they met the newest member of the family, a baby calf that was born just minutes before.

The crew learned in most cases cows give birth on their own - no epidural or nurses on hand to help!

The anchors checked out where the cows eat and sleep, receive food and large fans to keep the cows cool and comfortable.

Finally, the anchors learned how to milk a cow. The animals are creatures of habit, so when it's time for milking, they just line up and wait their turn.
