🐄 And just like that, the 2026 Fairlawn FFA Farm Day is a wrap! 🌾

This year’s Farm Day theme was “From Birth to Barn,” where students followed the journey of a dairy calf from birth to becoming a producing dairy cow. Students rotated through five hands-on learning stations, each highlighting an important part of dairy cattle production.
🐮 Station 1: Birth and Calf Care
Students learned about the birthing process, proper care of newborn calves, what calves eat, and the essentials needed to help them grow and thrive.
🌽 Station 2: Nutrition
Students explored animal nutrition, feed ingredients and additives, and how feed is ground, mixed, and delivered to growing livestock.
🩺 Station 3: Animal Health
Students learned about cattle care and management, along with veterinary techniques used to keep animals healthy and productive.
🥛 Station 4: The Milking Process
Students discovered how dairy cows are milked and learned more about the process of producing the milk we use every day.
🧈 Station 5: From Milk to Butter
Students wrapped up the day by learning how butter is made and participating in a hands-on classroom activity where they made their own butter!
A HUGE thank-you goes out to everyone who helped make this year’s Farm Day a success!
