Last Thursday, we had the opportunity to hear from 3 residents from the Auburn Vet School. Dr. Benson and Dr. Freeman are both specializing in large animal internal medicine, and Dr. Schwartz is specializing in theriogenology. They shared a little bit about each of their paths through vet school, as well as the process of obtaining a specialty in veterinary medicine. We also heard from Jodee Cole, the Student Relations Chair of Ag Council, who talked about what Ag Council does. Thank you to everyone who attended, and we are looking forward to our next meeting on Poultry Science this coming Thursday!

We had a great time at our Meat Judging and Tasting meeting last week! We had the opportunity to hear from Sarah Williams and Cheyenne Weimer about meat judging and what qualities to look for when grading a carcass. We were also able to sample different cuts of beef (round, ribeye, flank and filet), prepared for us by Cody, our advisor! Members were asked to fill out a survey about each cut’s appearance, texture and flavor, before Cody went into detail about why certain cuts have different qualities. At the beginning of the meeting, we also elected our Jr. Ag Council Rep, Molly VanderWal! We are so excited for her to join our team! Thank you so much to everyone who came, and we are excited to see everyone next week at our Horse Handling meeting!

LITTLE 'I', LITTLE 'I', LITTLE 'I'!!!!

Our members put in the hard work over the past 3 weeks to prepare and train their livestock for show day, and it certainly paid off.

Congratulations to Jewel Thompson, our Grand Champion, as well as Jodee Cole, our Reserve Champion! Everyone did a fantastic job showing their livestock! We hope everyone has enjoyed preparing for this show from start to finish, and had lots of fun. Can’t wait for next year's ;)
