Celebrating Mother's Day with Musk Oxen: A Special Tradition in Alaska.

People in Alaska like to see musk oxen on Mother's Day. The Musk Ox Farm in Palmer lets moms see these animals. Moms get a flower and can go in for free on this day.

The farm has many musk oxen, even baby ones. There is also an old one named Trebek, after a famous TV host. The farm's leader says it is fun to see musk ox moms and babies on Mother's Day.

Mother's Day is when the farm starts its summer season. The farm has been around for a long time, since 1964. It moved to Palmer in 1986, which helped people visit and feed the animals.

The farm started doing Mother's Day events when it opened in Palmer. It seemed natural to celebrate moms with baby musk oxen. This year, three baby musk oxen are there for people to see, and more may come.

Mother's Day is the farm's busiest day, with many visitors. People of all ages come to see the animals. The farm likes donations, but it mainly wants to thank the community with this event.
