Your students will learn about raising beef cattle, calves, health, and what cattle eat. Your students will receive an individually packed bag of items they will see during the field to smell and touch some of things they would see if they were on the farm in person. Live questions will be taken during the entire 40 minute field trip! Register your classroom today: https://ny.agclassroom.org/programs/virtual/
