This blog is designed to be a happy and helpful environment, and to keep it that way, the following rules must be followed:

About Me

My photo
This is going to be a great year! I believe in hands-on methods to help my students learn, and I try to utilize the many farms and other facilities available in this area to help put information to use. Many activities will be offered this semester, and a few of which will have required attendence. And don't worry - I have a fully agricultural background and am passionate about helping my students learn what I love. My husband and I own 400 head of cattle and are active in Team Roping and Barrel Racing Competitions. I am also a past (and sometimes present) free-lance writer for the Ozarks Farm and Neighbor and the FFA New Horizons magazine. What I don't know, I'll find out, so feel free to ask questions!

Ozarks Fall Farmfest

The Ozarks Fall Farmfest is held yearly at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds and is a way to bring farmers together to trade products and information.  This year it was held October 1,2, and 3rd. Several breeds of cattle, horses, goat, sheep and hogs were displayed, along with any type of agricultural equipment you could dream of. We attended as a chapter and had a great time! All of my students were so helpful and ON TIME!  I've never seen a turnout at Farmfest like we saw on Friday, but there were tons of useful boths for us to look through and lots of free goodies! Blog question for today:

What breed of cattle in the Livestock Annex did you like the best and why? Refer to the Livestock Handout link in the "Links" list to help identify and for further information. Only positive comments please!
