FRUIT LOOP update!
Mrs. Tull visited Fruit Loop IN PERSON at the dairy farm at College of the Ozarks last week. Fruit Loop is doing amazingly well and enjoying time in the pasture with all of her herd mates. They behave like overgrown puppies and want to love on everyone who enters. They love to be scratched and petted.
She also got to see two newborn calves in the nursery and see how the milk in machines work.
The farm said she can come back and continue to visit Fruit Loop but the official Adopt a Cow Program will not follow her past our last update. CSES will adopt a new calf next year and receive all the updates about that one through the program. We aren’t sure if our new calf will be at this same farm or in some other part of the country.
Following the visit, she walked over to the Gaetz Tractor Museum which was a free museum with farming equipment right next to the milking facility. Then, she went over the the school’s Keeter Center which functions as a lodge and full restaurant open to the public. The food is incredible! They even have a store where the students sell items.
It was an amazing visit. Fruit Loop is being well cared for and she’s a happy girl with her friends. The farmer said she is one of their favorites because she is so friendly and enjoys having her picture taken.
Champions can look for more on Fruit Loop’s visit when school starts and Mrs. Tull shares all of her fun videos with them in class.
ALSO- Fruit Loop will start producing her own milk sometime around her second birthday. While most of it stays on campus, any surplus will be sold to Hiland Dairy. That means we could be enjoying ice cream, milk, cheese, etc. from Fruit Loop in as little as two years!!
