This sale also provides our students with the opportunity to develop marketing skills through their involvement in all phases of planning and executing the sale. A special thanks goes out to the Intro To Farm Operations and Animal Science classes, which have sale management responsibilities. We are confident that you will find all of these club calf prospects to be suitable for next seasons show circuit.
