Abstract

Set on a family farm, the Moo-Moo Care Program is a hands-on, multi-day recreational program designed to teach youth about dairy cattle care. As part of my RTTR 203 final project, I created a daily schedule, goals and objectives, a Gantt chart for task organization, marketing materials, and an evaluation form.

Within this program, participants will engage in at least six hours of structured farm activities each day. Through interactive lessons and hands-on demonstrations, participants will learn key aspects of dairy cattle care, including feeding, milking, and how to maintain a clean environment. Participants will practice proper calf grooming skills - such as leaving 1.5 inches of hair on top - and demonstrate correct show techniques in the ring with a calf. Safety is also a priority, so participants will complete farm safety training throughout the week.

This Moo-Moo Care Program provides a structured, engaging, and educational experience by incorporating real-life farming routines and responsibilities. This project required planning to develop a balanced schedule, ensure participant safety, and create an immersive learning environment.
