Vet Feed Directive

Another week of pictures. I got a few hours off today. I love when I get time off and can get a lot done around our house. There's a lot that gets behind during the week. 

The first couple are of us waiting to preg check cows. It's expensive to keep and feed cattle. If they are not bred, we cull them from the herd. 



There are a lot of changes that occur in the agriculture industry. A group that I'm involved with and very passionate about is the Jackson Heights FFA Alumni, hosted an informational meeting about new rules regarding feeding medicated feed. Our Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, Chad Bontrager, a Holton native, talked about the opportunities and challenges faces agriculture. 


Then Dr. Tim Parks spoke about the new rules with the Vet Feed Directive. A rule that will make producers have a prescription to feed any antibiotics in the feed. 



The rest are photos with me and livestock around our farm. 






Still lots to do tonight. Hope you all are having a great day. Enjoy your week!
