April 28, 2023 – Lancaster, Wis.— Do you need a new class pet? How about a cow? The Adopt a Cow program allows classrooms across the United States to virtually “adopt” calves from farms across the nation. This year, Orthridge Jerseys, based in Lancaster, Wisconsin, had three calves up for adoption for the 2022-2023 school year: Diva, Jordee and Rebel. Join Orthridge for a live chat via YouTube Live or Facebook Live on Friday, April 28, to see this year’s calves and watch how the program comes to life. Representatives from Orthridge will showcase their calves in real-time to give 2022-2023 participants the chance to meet the calves they’ve been learning about during the year. See how students across Wisconsin engage with the program, get details on how to register for next year and take this amazing oppor-moo-nity by the horns!
Adopt a Cow, sponsored by Discover Dairy and Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin, is a free program offered to schools across the United States to help students learn about dairy farming, animal care and agriculture. Registration for the 2023-2024 school year will open in May. Orthridge would be happy to participate in virtual interviews with stations due to the travel distance.
