Our first set of litters have officially arrived at the WTC AG Farm! Seeing these healthy piglets on the ground is an exciting milestone and another reminder of the hands-on learning opportunities our students experience every day.

A special thank you goes to Mrs. Colvin for her countless hours of hard work, dedication, and commitment throughout the farrowing process. Your passion, attention to detail, and care for these animals make this swine operation such a success. We'd also like to give an honorable mention to Coach Hutchings, our Head Women's Rodeo Coach, for stepping in and lending an extra hand. Your willingness to help wherever needed truly reflects the teamwork that makes WTC AG so special.

Here's to healthy piglets, healthy sows, and another successful chapter for the WTC Agriculture program!
