2010 4-H Beef Weigh-in
We weighed in 43 steers on Saturday, March 20 in the cold shade of the Beef Barn on the Fairgrounds. While it was cold, it was a nice morning and no major problems this year, such as steers breaking free and heading to the airport! And, Nancy did not climb the fences to get out of the way of rampant steers. The adverage weight this year was 772 pounds and no steers came in over the maximum weight of 1050. Of course it helps that we were able to hold the weigh-in on the March date and not have to move it to April because of snow. Thanks to everyone that helped, Alan McNall, Dave Brooks, Dan McNall, Robin McNall, one of the McNall twins (very sorry, STILL can't tell you apart!) and her husband, Mitch Widgren and numerous others that were there to help with rowdy steers and backing trailers.

AgDiscovery Program 2010
The AgDiscovery program is a USDA outreach program to help students learn about careers in animal science, veterinary medicine, agribusiness and plant pathology. This 2 week program allows participants ages 12-17 to live on a college campus and learn about Agricultural science from university professors, practicing veterinarians and professionals working for the U. S. Government. Students chosen to participate in AgDiscovery will gain experience through hands-on labs, workshops, field trips and other group and team building activities. Click on the heading of this post to view the AgDiscovery 2010 - Investing in the Future of American Agriculture brochure to learn more about the program. Or go to http://www.aphis.usda.gov/agdiscovery/index.shtml.
Last year, a Bonner County 4-H member, Catie Hunsaker, was selected to attended the University of Kentucky workshop, "Investing in the Future if Veterinary Services in Horse Country". Catie was selected out of 80 applicants and had a great time.
How much will it cost? This is one of the great things about this program. The only costs to participants is the transportation fees - or flying to and from. For two weeks of instruction, room, board and lab fees you can't beat that!
Application packages must be postmarked no later than April 10, 2010. Spread the word. This opportunity is open to any interested youth.
