PHOTOS: Dairy Farm Open House

A truck pulls a wagon of visitors through a dairy barn during the Iowa State Dairy Farm’s open house on June 9. Cows are separated by age in the barns, because cows naturally establish a social order based on age. Cows around their own age are less likely to be mean to each other, tour leaders said.
