Event details

Adopt A Cow

  • 1 May 2026
  • 1 Sep 2026
  • Virtual

Forget the guinea pig. How about adopting a 1,500-pound dairy cow 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 Discover Dairy “Adopt a Cow” program is an exciting, year-long experience for your classroom. Throughout the program, you’ll get an inside look at dairy farming and be paired with a calf from a working Maine dairy farm. You’ll find out what her name is, when her birthday is, where she lives, and how the farmer takes care of her. You’ll also receive progress updates, photos of the cow, live chats from the farm, activity sheets for your students, suggested lessons that follow Common CORE standards, and even opportunities to write letters to your calf! All updates are easily accessible via an online portal and app for Apple and Android.

 

Enroll in the free program anytime May 1 – September 1 to get a mailed welcome packet! Join the moo-vement that has impacted 9.4+ million students across the globe since 2020! ➡️ Learn more: discoverdairy.com/adopt
