Watch your newsletters for the website which will be up in February. Horse ethics will be required to be done one month earlier than other animals.

POULTRY QUESTIONS? COME FOR THE ANSWERS
It's soon time to be thinking about what breeds of poultry you are interested in. Questions mostly asked are:
- What are the different breeds?
- What's the difference between breeds?
- How do I identify them?
- When do I purchase them?
- How do I plan my poultry management schedule?
- How do I handle and care for my poultry?
These questions and many more will be answered on Saturday, December 6 from 1-3 pm. Location for this clinic is to be announced. A qualified judge along with the poultry superintendents will provide you with the most updated information. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.
