MOBILE DAIRY CLASSROOM

The Mobile Dairy Classroom is a division of the Southwest Dairy Museum, Inc., a non-profit, educational organization that is funded by dairymen across the southwest. The Mobile Dairy Classroom is a FREE program for schools, day care centers, camps, fairs, and festivals. It’s a traveling milking parlor, carrying a live cow and providing a milking demonstration along with an oral presentation about the modern milking process, characteristics and anatomy of dairy cows, importance of dairy foods, modern environmental and food safety practices.

This unit is available for scheduling at your local elementary school. Due to the popularity of this program, our Mobile Dairy Classrooms are scheduled well in advance. When we schedule your school, we need to see every class. This can easily be accomplished by having several different sessions lasting 20 to 40 minutes. Your request should be made soon and expect some delay.

To schedule a Mobile Dairy Classroom contact Mike Reeves by mail:  2720 57th Street, Lubbock, TX  79413, or by phone:  778-7920
