The BC Dairy Association's Mobile Dairy Classroom Experience came to Abbotsford's Roberta Bondar Elementary School on Friday morning.

The idea of the mobile classroom is to bring a dairy farm to school across BC. It is a 54-foot fifth wheel trailer that has been modified to fit a milking jar, set of pumps and room to transport two cows and one calf.

Instructors show children how a cow is milked and explain other facts about the dairy industry.
