Milk from Cow to Carton: in real life!

Ever wonder what happens to milk after it leaves the cow… and before it reaches your grocery store? 🥛🐄 In this video, I take you behind the scenes of milk’s journey from the dairy farm to the dairy plant to your refrigerator. We’ll look at: • How cows make milk • What an udder actually is • How milking machines work • Where milk goes after it leaves the farm • What a bulk tank and milk truck do • Why milk is tested • What pasteurization and homogenization mean I made this video to help kids (and honestly adults too!) better understand where milk comes from and the people who work hard every day to keep it safe and nutritious. This video is inspired by my new children’s book: 📚 DairyDoc’s Discovery Goggles: Milk from Cow to Carton I’m Dr. Michelle Schack — dairy veterinarian, educator, and creator of DairyDoc. Thanks for watching!
