Life on a dairy farm.
Life on a dairy farm
When a mother is giving birth to a calve they lie down or sometimes stand up. When the mother has given birth the calve quickly pops out. The calf is taken to a warm shed were the other calves are.
Calves are always hungry in the shed. Calves can be very greedy also want to be first and want to have some milk.. When calves get older they always nibble on grass and are feed less on milk. They drink fresh and clean water.
Young calves have very small horns. Their horns are removed or disbudded by very hot iron. They are injected so that they do not endanger or hurt other calves.
Farmers keep the best female calves to become a heifer which these cows would always produce milk. Heifer cows a dairy farm make 20,000 litres of milk a year but the male cattle have to be slaughtered for beef. The farmer keeps the best bull for breeding.

Butterflies
Butterflies
In this world there are many strange insects, butterflies are one of them. They are wonderful fliers, and wonderful honey collectors.
Butterflies have strange facts about themselves like they have holes along their sides to breathe, the holes are called spiracles. Also butterflies have patterns on their wings to scare off their predators.
Butterflies have green blood, also they are cold blooded because of the air around them. When there wings are wet they wait until the sun warms them up then they would be able to fly again. If butterflies do not use their tongue they roll it up like a swirly straw. A butterfly has thousands of lenses in their eyes but us humans have only one.
Butterflies are very gentle and would never hurt you because butterflies are very nice and gracious fliers. Butterflies can be very special.
