MDA Jailbirds
 
Moo Roo hosts Muscular Dystrophy Lock-Up

Moo Roo will host the MDA "Thanks for Giving" Lock-Up event on Thursday, Nov. 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Some of Waterloo's Most Wanted are being charged with having big hearts. Their bail? $800 in honor of sending one kid to MDA Summer Camp. One of the celebrity "jailbirds" will be Eileen Loan of KWWL.

MDA's fundraising goal this year is $20,000. The jailbirds will eat, have fun raising pledges and get to know the other people behind bars at Moo Roo. Come out and meet the MDA Jailbirds!

Cow of the Month
 
Orange
Orange

In honor of fall foliage, November's Cow of the Month is Orange. This girl has a special marking on her neck that looks like an "O" (see photo), so her name is fitting. Orange is 4 years old and has had two calves - both bulls. She has produced 35,864 pounds of milk in her lifetime and has been a trouble-free cow. She's small, gentle and has a good attitude!


Farm tours
 
Season draws to an end

Thanks to all have made a visit to the farm for tours the past several months. We've enjoyed sharing our farm with you. We'll continue scheduling in the spring with a new tour center.


Scary good time
 
Moo Roo Halloween party

Thank you to everyone who came to Moo Roo for our Halloween party. We had about 35 people. Congratulations to our winners of pumpkin bowling, bobbing for worms and the other games. It was a HOWLING good time!


A time to give thanks
