Project
There are lots of agricultural stuff in Idaho like fields, cattle, and irrigation. This all takes a part in our lives because we wouldn’t be able to live without this process. Agriculture means the practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool and other products.
My research paper was on cows being slaughtered for food. It was debating on if they should or shouldn’t be killed. The side that wanted to slaughter cows for food said that the process should stay the same because it controls cattle population and it helps us live. The other side wanted to only use cows for dairy products but not for meat. The connection between my research paper and physical project was that they both dealt with cows and calves. I did this for my project so I could learn more about cattle and it was fun. What I did for the physical project was raise and feed four calves and now I know how to do it. All I needed to do was get a bucket and fill it up with warm water. Then, I put 3 cups of milk re placer, mixed it, and then poured it into the bottles. All four of the calves are healthy. It was easy to do and fun to do. In conclusion, this project was fun and exciting to do.
