The ULTIMATE BLOG POST

This year in Animal Science, Ava fell in the mud and sheared her first sheep. She also ear tagged the kids and lambs. We picked the leftover apples for the animals in the fall and helped out with the bees before they mysteriously disappeared. Erin was one with the donkeys, her and Ava's favorite animals on the farm. She also got pecked by the chickens while testing their reflexes, something Ava and Julia were afraid to do. Julia was a big fan of Phillip, despite his pungent odor, and loved the cows. Kerry's favorite aspect of the farm was Rory the border collie. Rory is a newer addition, and she is learning to herd the animals. We go to the farm twice a week to work with the animals and help out with the farm. The rest of the week we learn about many aspects of farming and animals, including nutrition, reproduction, their digestive systems and genetics. Overall, this was one of our favorite classes, and we strongly recommend it.
