Welcome to Reinhardt Dairy Farm
Meet a Calf Your Classroom Can Adopt
We’re Josh and Emily Reinhardt, and we operate a third generation dairy farm in Red Bud, Illinois. Our farm was started in 1954 by Josh’s grandpa, and today is home to 240 cows.
One of the newest members of the herd is this calf right here. She doesn’t have a name yet, but if your classroom adopts her, you’ll get to name her and watch her grow with monthly photos and updates.
Just like most of the other dairy cows on our farm, she is a Holstein, a breed that is known for their black and white spots. She’s mischievous and playful, as many calves are.
If you’d like to adopt her for your classroom, click the link on the right. Once your adoption form is received, we’ll send you an adoption confirmation email that includes a photo of your calf and a video message from me.
Each month, we’ll send an email with a picture and update on your calf, along with fun, educational materials that help students learn about dairy farming and nutritious dairy foods.
Thanks for reading about our dairy farm and baby calf. We hope you’ll consider adopting her and follow her during her journey this school year.
