SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE inside the Campus Farm’s big red dairy barn, Ayeesha Fadlaoui ’25 thought she’d gotten past the tricky part of her chores once she corralled the two new dairy goats and guided them up on the metal milking stands to eat their grain.
Then she waited. And waited. And waited. The goats ate slowly, perhaps unsure of the platform they were standing on—but luckily, it wasn’t time for actual milking yet. Fadlaoui and the farm crew were just getting them acclimated, a few weeks before they were due to give birth in mid-April.
“The whole semester has been leading up to this, so I’m really excited for bottle feeding and interacting with the kids,” says Fadlaoui, an animal science major.
