This was literally a "pull off of the interstate and turn right" experience for us. We are usually huge planners and stick with our trip plans. But we loved the huge brown cow that greeted us! It was very informative and the kids loved it.
Be warned: You have to wear hairnets for the tours and there is no photography allowed inside the tour. Try to go before lunch when production is in full swing. We stopped at 1 PM and some of the machines were shut down for daily cleaning and inspection. [Trippin Lady, 07/13/2008]
