Join the Laupāhoehoe P&S Library, the Honeybee Education Program and the Laupāhoehoe Train Museum as they present the second in a five-part series with a focus on animal homesteading.

17 Mar: The Milk Cow at the Heart of Your Homestead with Grant Gerrish
Grant will explain his passion for dairy cows from his many many years of homesteading in Paauilo.  A retired Biology Professor at UH Hilo, Grant has a unique experience that incorporates science and heart-felt connection in his farming operations.

During this presentation, Grant will talk about the past 20 years plus of raising dairy cows on a small family farm.  There will be time for questions; if you ever wanted to raise a milk cow of your own, Grant can help you understand what it takes to understand the ins and outs of dairy cows.
