Electronic Field
Trip to a Beef Farm 
An Electronic Field Trip to a Beef Cattle Farm is an exciting way to learn
about beef cattle and farming without leaving your classroom. Students
who live in towns, cities, and suburbs - whose experience with beef cattle
might consist of seeing the Pamplona running of the bulls or driving past sprawling
beef cattle farms - might be very curious to learn what life is like on one
of those farms.
During the field trip to Salt River Farms in Boyle County,
students will learn what makes the Bluegrass region so
good for raising beef cattle and other livestock, what
a typical day on a beef cattle farm is like, how a veterinarian
knows that a cow is with calf, and a little about the
economics of farming. There are many activities
from which to choose. You are invited to come
along on an electronic field trip!
