🥉THIRD PLACE🥉
And that's a wrap on the OP Feedlot Challenge 2022!
Need for Feed placed third overall, and we are incredibly happy with the results!
Congrats to .king and for coming 2nd and 1st respectively.
This challenge has been hard work and long hours but the knowledge and hands-on experience we gained made it all worth it.
Here's to the long hours mixing, early morning feedings and the friends and memories we made along the way🥂

Thank you for coming on this journey with us, and we hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about our beefy friends🐮

We are so proud of him!

It's time to say goodbye to our wonderful bulls. Going into this challenge, none of us could have predicted how much these magnificent animals would teach us. We are incredibly grateful that we had this opportunity to learn more about looking after the health and welfare of our little herd and we look forward to being able to make a difference for other herds in the future. Until then, herd 8, you have our hearts ❤❤
