Cow Chow
There is a great new game on the Explore Beef Page! This is titled Cow Chow, Exploring What Cattle Eat. There is a short video exploring some of the concepts behind the cattle feeding program. Then the player is asked to “Get Started”. The player gets to be either Farmer Jill or Farmer Bill and then the quiz kicks off. There is a short quiz that asks questions about the video that was just played and the happiness of the farmer and the points earned depend on how fast the question is asked and the accuracy of the answer.
Cow Chow
If the player gets a question wrong they are asked to watch a video further explaining the question and then they have a reattempt. This is a great way to learn a little bit more about what goes into the belly of a cow and is done in a fun and encouraging way. Teachers, this is a great activity to do with your class on a Smartboard because it is so interactive! Also State Beef Ambassadors, take advantage of these great tools in your next classroom sessions!
Props to the Explore Beef Team to go above and beyond in telling the beef story. It is great to get the beef story out there in a positive way and put a spin towards a slightly younger generation so they can feel included!
