Feeeeding Time

Hay bails tossed methodically into feeding stalls, bottled milk being prepped, waters being refilled. These are the sights of feeding time on the Pierce College farm where twice a day, students from Dr. Shapiro’s 501 class, tend to the animals. “For us, we don’t get a vacation,” said Henry Monge, student farm leader. “Winter break, summer break, holidays, no matter what, we’re always here,” Part of Monge’s job is taking care of the recently born animals. More than 30 baby animals call the farm home. One goat in particular has received a lot of attention. Previously known as number ‘184,’ farm students have given the baby goat, also known as a ‘kid,’ the name Kronk. You can visit Kronk and the other baby animals during the Pierce College Farm Walk on April, 27th, 2014.
