As part of Dairy Australia's Cows Create Careers project Blayney High School Ag students have been given an opportunity to raise and care for two dairy calves for the next three weeks, and it's a job that they're always keen to do.
Students Faith Hutt and Natalie Milthorpe had even taken to dressing up as their bovine friends to make a 'how-to' video.
"The calves are so cute, we love having them at school," Faith said.
For Natalie the calves were an opportunity to work on a few cheesy puns.
"What have I learned from Cows Create Careers? Don't cry over spilled milk - turn the udder cheek and moo-ve on," she said.

During the three week project a local dairy farmer will teach the students how to care for the calves, and demonstrate skills such as animal husbandry, feeding and weighing.
Year nine student Bradley Funnell said that the project had opened his eyes to the industry.
"Cows really do create careers," he said.
"There are so many jobs we could do in dairy."
