Elissa Eichin’s kindergarten class at Queensbury Elementary School is participating in Discover Dairy’s Adopt a Cow program, which has been “love at first moo” for her students.
The kindergartners are hoping their baby bovine named Autumn wins the title of “Most Kissable Calf” through a competition held online by Discover Dairy.
Autumn is running against 85 other handsome heifers for the title and currently sits in second place with about 25% of the vote. Click on this link to vote for Autumn. Calves are listed alphabetically. Make sure to scroll all the way down to submit your vote.
Polls close at the end of February. The winning calf and her host family will receive a calf care package.
Eichin’s class gets weekly updates on the quadruped to find out how much Autumn is eating and growing. Stargo Dairy Farm in Malone sends video updates to keep the kids and their calf connected.
Eichin hosts Farm Fridays in her classroom where her students learn about dairy farming.
