Cow of the Month
|
 The October Cow of the Month is Sand, who is 10 years old and has delivered 9 calves: 3 bulls and 6 heifers. This cow is very efficient when it comes to reproduction. Our goal as dairy farmers is to have a cow have one calf every year. Sand has done this pretty easily. It only takes one or two breedings and she is pregnant. She is a fertile Myrtle! Sand has produced 185,460 pounds of milk and she is just starting her 9th lactation. She is well on her way to reaching that 200,000-pound mark. Her offspring are also carrying on her tradition for both production and reproduction.

Pogo is pregnant! Our female kangaroo is pregnant for the first time! Boomer and Pogo are the proud parents. Come spring, tour visitors should be able to see a joey peeking out of her pouch. When the babies are born, they are only about bumblebee sized. They crawl up the hair into the pouch, latch on to a nipple to nurse, and stay in the pouch for about a year. For fascinating imagery, watch this video of a kangaroo birth from National Geographic.

American Way of Eating -
Local Foods Focus at UNI
UNI Theatre will present "The American Way of Eating" at 7 p.m. Oct. 10-12 and Oct. 16-19, and at 2 p.m. Oct.13 and 20, in the Bertha Martin Theatre on the University of Northern Iowa campus.
"The American Way of Eating" is a New York Times best-selling book by journalist Tracie McMillan. The book details how McMillan delved into the heart of America's food production industries to get a first-hand account of how our food is harvested, sold, and prepared. McMillan went undercover picking garlic in the fields of California; worked as a produce stocker for Wal-Mart, the largest seller of groceries in the U.S.; and in the kitchen of the biggest restaurant chain in America. This sometimes searing, often hilariously funny, story offers a vivid picture of the people who actually feed us and of the toll that task takes on them. Tracie McMillan uses her book to open the trapdoor and shine a light into the often ugly business of American food -- from mistreated workers on industrial farms in California, to spoiled food and standing water in the back rooms of Wal-Mart and the tiny flecks of plastic that sometimes accompany the vegetables and rice in an Applebee's.
The book is the Common Read at UNI this year and has been adapted into a play by faculty and students. Tickets are $16 for adults and free for UNI students with their uCard. Tickets can be purchased from the Strayer-Wood Theatre lobby box office between noon and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The box office opens one hour before curtain time.

Cooking with Hansen's
This recipe for Caramel  Apples comes from Martha Stewart. The recipe calls for 9 apples that you dip in caramel and top with nuts, sea salt, and melted chocolate. You can use any variation of toppings you like! Apples from Blue Ridge Orchard in Denver, Iowa, are available in both stores now!
Caramel Apples
Ingredients
- 9 apples, room temperature
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup Hansen's heavy cream, room temperature
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped cashews or other nuts, for dipping
- Sea salt, for pressing
- 2 ounces white, dark, or milk chocolate, chopped (optional)
Directions
Insert a 5-inch dowel or skewer into the stem end of each apple.
Combine sugar and corn syrup in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir. Cover, and cook over medium-high heat until sugar melts. Uncover, and continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until mixture is dark golden, about 10 minutes. Slowly drizzle in heavy cream. Remove from heat, and stir until smooth. Transfer caramel to a small metal bowl. Let stand 3 minutes to let caramel thicken slightly, then dip bottom of 1 apple to test if caramel is thick enough. If most of the caramel runs off of apple, let caramel cool 1 to 2 minutes more, then try again.
Dip 3 apples, including test apple, 1 at a time, into caramel to coat three-quarters of each apple. Let excess drip off, and scrape bottom of apples against the side of bowl (if caramel begins to harden, reheat in bowl over a pot of simmering water). Immediately after coating each apple, dip into nuts, using your fingers to help them adhere. Transfer each apple as decorated to a baking sheet lined with parchment or a nonstick baking mat, and let set completely, about 30 minutes.
Coat 3 more apples with caramel as above, this time pressing each with salt flakes along top edge of caramel immediately after coating. Transfer to lined baking sheet, and let set.
Coat the 3 remaining apples with caramel. Transfer to lined baking sheet, and let set.
Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until melted and completely smooth. Fill a small resealable plastic bag with chocolate, and snip a tiny hole in 1 corner. One at a time, hold the 3 plain caramel apples horizontally over baking sheet, drizzle with chocolate in a back-and-forth motion, spinning apple as you drizzle. Return to baking sheet to set, about 30 minutes
