Plot where cow plants her plop will pop big bucks for Stevens Institute of Technology fund-raiser April 7
1,400 Pound Cow To Graze Campus Green For Stevens and Rutgers Programs
Lots of bucks will be riding on a 1,400-pound Holstein cow as she grazes Stevens Institute of Technology’s college green TODAY, April 7, between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. to help raise funds for the university’s fencing teams and the Animal Care Program at Rutgers University’s Cook College.
What will the cow do to help the team? Why, what cows naturally do.
Members of the fencing teams have been busy surveying the lawn in front of Stevens’ Schaefer Athletic and Recreation Center and have sectioned it off into 650 plots for what the team is calling the "Meadow Muffins Lot-A-Bucks" fund-raiser. Deeds to those plots are going for five dollars a plop and their owners will win cash prizes if the cow plops on their plot.
She will start at 1:00 p.m.
Funds raised by the event will support equipment, training and traveling expenses for both the men’s and women’s fencing programs. Remaining funds will be donated to the Animal Care Program at Cook’s agricultural station. Cook College, the cow’s home, has the nation’s third-largest animal science departments.
