The farm, which is the research and testing facility for agriculture, forestry and consumer sciences students at WVU, has hosted Kiddie Days for the past 25 years, Jones said. On the tour, children see dairy cows, sheep and lambs, baby and market pigs, beef cattle and calves, chickens, turkeys and hatched and unhatched chickens. There is a water slide in the tank.
