Mrs. Hertenstein's advanced foods class hosted the 6th grade today for a cultural fair complete with a variety of foods, dancing, and chopstick and origami lessons. High school students did a great job presenting, and the 6th graders were very adventurous in trying new things.

Production Animal Science took a field trip to Sargisson Farms last week. Julie and Korey Sargisson were wonderful hosts and treated the students to bacon ice cream when they arrived! The students learned about swine management, including disease treatment and prevention, nutrition, and genetics. The students were also able to see the extent to which technology is used in keeping pigs warm and healthy.
After the hog barn tour, the students were able to take a look inside of a livestock trailer. It was very cool to see the swing gates and ramps in action which are used to load pigs into multiple sections of the trailer. Thank you to the Sargisson's for having us!
