For the cattle and the goats that our class fed, the pumpkins that we gathered from the lower and middle school were used as a good source of energy and protein for the cattle at Home Winds. The cattle as well as the goats, will eat pumpkins that are rotten or spoiled, which benefits the farmers who are able to get rid of the excess amount of pumpkins. Pumpkins on the farm are recycled in a positive way that both affects the farmer and the animals.
