  4. This is Star. She is a Jersey cow and belongs to my new friend, Dot Voskamp. She is a very friendly cow.

  5. Mr. Voskamp works for the Southwest Dairy Farmers Museum as a Mobile Dairy Classroom Instructor. He let me milk his cow, “Missy”.

  6. I am standing on the “claw”. This is put on the cow’s udder and draws the milk out to go into the weigh jar.

  7. This is the weigh jar. That is a lot of milk! That is how much Star and Missy gave us. The cows are milked twice a day in the morning and evening.

  8. The Voskamps took me to Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

  9. We went to a Horse Show Clinic at Texas A&M.. Tim Kimura (the man who taught the clinic) remembered me when we met in Virginia. I told him that Amber sent me to Texas. I tried to call her, but she didn’t answer.

  10. My new friend, Dot, fell asleep on the way home.

  11. We went out to eat at a restaurant called The Salt Grass Steakhouse. Here I am with Dot and her older brother Joey. We had fun.
