Calf Project

Farmers give back

In 2005, a group of farmers who found Easter Seals Wisconsin's FARM services helpful organized to give back to the program. The pilot project involved raising and selling donated calves, with proceeds of the sale donated to the FARM Program.

People have donated animals, transportation, materials, their farms and time, and feed to raise one or more calves. Proceeds from the sale of the animals go to the FARM Program to provide direct client services.

How the program works

Anyone interested in helping in any way with this worthwhile project is welcome.
Donations come from:

• recipients of FARM services,
• people from the community, and
• business owners

Donations can be, but are not limited to:

• animals
• feed
• host farms to raise animals
• transportation
• money

Donations, host farms, and sales are coordinated by a FARM Program staff member.
