City Kids - Week 4

           

          City Kids - Week 4


Happy Spring, everyone! We had a few snow flurries 
and the temperature dropped again,
but the Spring Equinox hit and the world seemed to wake up for it.

Here is calf Pilot happily drinking a warm bottle of milk replacer.





Our week started with a bang…Porsche gave birth to a heifer calf! Sticking with the car theme, she was fondly named Pilot (as in Honda Pilot) by this week's city kids.








We were able to help the farmers out by collecting nearly 500 gallons of sap, too!

to find its age.


Watermelon sprouts from seeds planted
by City Kids last week.







While the snow was drifting to Earth 
and the sap was starting to freeze, 
the plants in the dorm were sprouting,

Strawberry was calving a heifer calf
(now named Springberry)









and the cows were getting some extra love
from teachers,
education staff,
and city kids.

When the weather warmed up, we found a vole exploring the mud and teachers taught students to fly.
