A big thank you to the Quincy Girl Scouts for inviting Annabelle to be part of their Animal Day yesterday! ๐๐
The girls learned all about the digestive system of cattle, including the 4 compartments of a cow's stomach. They also explored the Adams County Ag in the Classroom cow model for a fun, hands-on learning experience and had the chance to meet and pet Blaze, the adorable baby calf! ๐ฎโค๏ธ
We love sharing agricultural education with young learners and helping them discover where their food comes from. Thank you for a wonderful day filled with learning, questions, and smiles! ๐โ๏ธ
