Life Size Model Milking Cow 

Nowadays many children assume that milk originates from a carton or bottle and that cows resemble the cartoon versions on television.

Visits to dairy farms would previously have shown kids otherwise.

However health and safety regulations involving compulsary risk assessments have provided major disincentives, and made it increasingly difficult for farmers to become involved in such educational programmes.

And farmers cannot be blamed for nervously checking their insurance cover , prior to any farm visits.

As an educational tool , the Life Size Model Milking Cow is the perfect solution - not only do kids get a realistic idea of the scale and shape of the animal, but the rubber teats closely resemble the real thing !

 

Ideal for farm parks, ice cream parlours, caravan parks, farm attractions and city farms , the Milking Cow has proven to be a massive hit at these types of venue. Staff can fill her up, then relax in the knowledge that no-one will get kicked, stood on, or made a mess of. And at the same time, children can marvel at the scale and highly efficient operation of an animal which has been around a very long time.

 

PLEASE NOTE : As extremely minimal feeding and watering is required, The Milking Cow being energy efficient; is guaranteed not to kick, bite or make a mess, thereby minimising any insurance problems, avoiding methane gas pollution and eliminating her carbon footprint !!

Her milking "parts" while being extremely durable , are also easily replaceable.

"Our Milking Cow goes down an absolute storm in terms of an attraction - the kids are fascinated and the farming community are equally impressed".

"In terms of practicality the only problem really is the high volume of kids we have using her - it really tests the durability of her equipment !"

Joanne Rae : Marketing Manager, Robert Wiseman Dairies

The huge success of Bella the Milker prompted The Royal Highland Education Trust to approach Wiseman Dairies, for assistance in purchasing her younger sister "Mabel".

She entertains visitors on the RHET stand @ The Royal Highland Show as well as being an integral part of their educational programme .

The parents who bring along their children invariably end up milking the animal themselves...

"Mabel" has gone on to provide a major attraction for RHET ; so much so that another 3 branches of RHET have purchased similar model milking cows. 

During the season, Mabel the Milking Cow and her sisters go on tour at a wide variety of events all over the country. They appear at other agricultural shows,International Sheepdog Trials, the Country Fair at Glamis Castle on the FWAG stand, and at the Festival Theatre in Pitlochry where the WRI National Conference include an element called "Fund a Farm".
