The Cow Chronicles: Adopt a Cow for a Week
The Cow Chronicles is a hands-on educational program connecting local classrooms with real livestock producers during Ag Awareness Week. Each participating classroom is paired with a local ranch cow and receives one daily email featuring their adopted cow, fun facts, photos, and simple reflection activities. Designed to build agricultural literacy and strengthen producer-community connections, the program offers a story-driven way for students to learn where their food comes from.
