Moooove over, chickens. At the Bridgehampton School, which welcomed a flock of barred Holland hens earlier this year, kindergartners have "adopted" a calf through a Discover Dairy adopt-a-cow program, the school recently announced.
The female calf was born on Oct. 6 at Dutch Hollow Farm in the Hudson Valley, where it lives, and as of Monday it weighed 60 pounds.
Students are in charge of coming up with possible names for the calf, and teachers will be incorporating lessons about cows into the curriculum wherever possible through the rest of the school year as the calf grows up.
