Shoalhaven High Archibull 2013: The Story of How Milk is Made.

On one fine sunny day, we join Udder Brilliance in a rich green pasture. She and her friends were joyously grazing on the fibrous grasses that made up their diet.

"How is it that we can make milk for humans but the sheep can't?" One of her friends pondered aloud.

Udder Brillance had also been wondering about how they did this, so she and her friend strolled over to the wise,old, grey bearded ram Herald.

"Herald?" Udder Cuteness enquired, "How is it that cows can make humans' milk but some other animals can't?"
Herold told the two girls to take a seat as he cleared his voice and began his story.

"Now, you young ladies want to know how you make milk?" the two nodded.
"Okay" his old raspy voice echoed in the barn, "Did you girls know that you have four stomachs?This is why you can make milk. You have got the Rumen, which is your first stomach, this is where all your chewed up grass goes," he smiled at the two who where keenly listening.

"Next you have a Reticulum" he continued. "This is like a big jar, where all your stomach acids dissolve the grass and this takes a very long time" he gave a wary smile "After that all finishes the watery grass goes through the third stomach, the Omasum, Then into the fourth and final stomach the Abomasum." He looked to the two girls who where eager with questions.

"So it's because the grass goes through four different tummies?" Udder Brilliance's friend asked.

"Yep, that's why" the old Ram smiled. "Now off you pop and on the way out, try some of the Farmer's new rosemary, it's delicious" he laughed as the two walked away, talking about all they had learnt, and how they were going to tell all their friends, well after they tested some of the rosemary.
