How to Take Care of Your Personal Milk Cow
with Brynn Darby-Apple

Tuesday, April 7, 2026, 6:30PM

Milk and cheese, please!
Have you ever thought of having your own milk cow or wondered what it takes to care for one?

Brynn Darby-Apple is our own local agricultural science educator at Big Sandy High School, with over 20 years of experience with dairy cattle. She began showing dairy heifers at her county fair at the age of nine and now holds degrees in Agricultural Education and a Master’s of Science in Agricultural Communications from Oklahoma State University.

Come hear Brynn share a blend of real-world experience, education, and honest discussion of both the rewards and responsibilities of owning a milk cow.
