Have you ever visited a farm? Or perhaps you live on a farm! Farm Animals for Kids explores facts about some of the animals that live on farms and what they do. You might learn some fun facts along the way that you didn't know before! For instance, did you know
So what is a farm, exactly? A farm is an area of land used to grow crops and raise animals to produce food. The animals that live here are different from your average house pet. This is because farm animals usually have important jobs to do to keep the farm running. For instance, many farms have horses that help farmers prepare their crops.
One farm animal you're probably very familiar with is the cow. Cows are large and eat about 25 pounds of food per day. That's six to eight times as much as the average adult human! Most dairy farms have more than a thousand cows. These animals produce milk, that farmers can then sell to dairies that produce other dairy products like ice cream and cheese.
Chickens are another common farm animal. Some chickens can produce up to 300 eggs a year! Believe it or not, chickens didn't always live in America. But now there are more chickens in the U.S. than there are people! Another animal on the farm is the sheep. Farmers can sheer the sheep's wool once a year that they can then sell to companies that make clothing. Other farm animals include pigs, ducks, donkeys, and rabbits.
