We had a great turnout for the Rusk County Youth Beef Field Day! High school students from surrounding schools had the opportunity to learn about cattle reproduction, cattle management, ag safety, tractors and equipment, forage production, and Dr. Perry even ultrasounded a heifer for them to see.
A special thank you to our presenters for sharing their time and knowledge!
