Dairy | Wisconsin Dairy Farmer Overwhelmed With Calf Reaction

What can 10 little Wisconsin dairy calves do? Plenty when it comes to capturing the attention of classroom students and teachers around the United States!

The “Adopt a Cow” program created and administered through the Center for Dairy Excellence and Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin adjusted things a bit to introduce K-8 students to 10 Wisconsin dairy calves. The students got to monitor daily activities of the calves and the farm families caring for them, and became a part of classroom instruction about where food comes from, what farmers really are, and more.

Three of the calves featured came from Synergy Dairy Farm in Pulaski. Sharlamagne – a red and white Holstein calf; Seroogy – a Jersey calf, and Dorito, a black and white Holstein.

Heather Jauquet and her son, Evan, found the engagement with the classrooms interesting and fun – and the supportive comments and physical mail they received was a little overwhelming!

Synergy Dairy Farm will wrap up their Adopt a Calf story with a special one hour, interactive virtual farm tour, on Wednesday, April 27th.

This one program has reached more than 1 million students in all 50 states.
