The Adopt a Cow program is a year-long FREE experience!

Forget the guinea pig. How about adopting a 100-pound dairy calf for your classroom mascot? Don’t worry about finding a pen big enough to hold her. The photos and stories we’ll send you about her life on the farm will make her “come alive” for your students! The best part? It is FREE!

After being paired with a calf from a dairy farm in the United States, you and your students will receive progress reports and photos, live chats from the farm, activity sheets for students, suggested lessons that follow Common CORE standards, and even opportunities to write letters to the farmer with questions and comments about the calf! ??
The free program is ideal if:

** You teach in a traditional classroom setting.
** You are homeschooling your kids/family members/friends.
** You run an after-school program.
** You facilitate a library program.
** You have an agriculture program at your museum or kids’ center.
** You are one of the above and are teaching/leading from in or outside of the United States. (Yes, anyone can join the program, even from New Zealand!)
