Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin Announce Adopt a Cow Classroom Initiative

Forget the guinea pig! Imagine adopting a 100-pound dairy calf as your classroom mascot. By joining the Adopt A Cow program, you can bring the farm experience directly to your students without needing a pen big enough to hold her. This program provides photos and stories about your adopted calf’s life on the farm, making her “come alive” for your students through engaging and educational content. The best part? It’s completely FREE!

Participating in the Adopt A Cow program offers a unique and interactive way for students to learn about agriculture, animal care, and the dairy industry. Your class will receive regular updates, photos, and videos, allowing students to follow their calf’s growth and development throughout the year. This program not only fosters a connection with animals but also provides valuable insights into the daily operations of a dairy farm.

Benefits of the Adopt A Cow Program:

  • Educational Content: Engages students with real-life stories and visuals of the calf’s journey from birth to maturity.
  • Interactive Learning: Encourages curiosity and questions about farming, animal care, and agriculture.
  • No Cost Involved: This enriching experience is provided at no cost to your school, making it accessible for all classrooms.

Bring the joy and learning of the farm to your students by adopting a dairy calf today. Watch as they develop a bond with their new mascot and gain a deeper understanding of the agricultural world. Sign up for the Adopt A Cow program and transform your classroom into a fun and educational environment!
