The mill was built at the late 1800´s. Behind the mill and the flume there is some houses where some students liveing in weeks.

Perhaps this picture is a little too dark but it shows a lesson when we look at a skeleton from a horse. It is great to have the skeleton i a classroom, it is so easy to compare with a real horse in the stable nextdoor and provide a greater understanding for horses physique.




Here is a nice picture showing a student feeding a lamb. Our school has the past winter build a new sheep barn. The staff and students are very happy to have it because we can have more sheep.


Okey, this is a hazy picture, but I would like to view it because it shows when at student clean a cow. Some of the students is not really used to work with cows so I think it is a very good exercise to get comfortable and friend with the ladys. At the school we have about 55 cows and they are not tied up and for some of the students it is quite scary to go in to the big animals even if the staff says that the cows is very kind.
