County-Wide Officer Training teach Youth Club Leaders
Almost 30 youth leaders joined us on a Saturday morning! Youth officers represented 11 of the community clubs during the training. The morning started off with the youth learning some icebreaker activities and getting to know each other. The youth then learned about the 3 parts of a meeting: Education, Business, and Recreation.
There were some interactive activities throughout the training to keep the youth actively participating and engaged. Youth leaders then helped facilitate the officer tracks. These tracks were breakout sessions, where the youth learned specific skills and duties of the officer roles they were elected for.

Are you ready for your calves to go on the long haul?
As dairy operations grow, or focus on the milking herd, it has become a necessary component in moving newborn calves from the farm to a separate calf raising facility, some being out of state.
Handling and transporting these pre-weaned calves can be stressful. Calves are at an increased risk for health and welfare issues than their older adult counterparts due to a naive immune system and their inability to thermoregulate their body temperatures.
As animal caregivers we can provide best management practices to minimize stress on the calf and improve calf welfare while transporting from one farm to the next.
