Cross County FFA

Bring Your Muck Boots: Cross County ag students see an embryo implanted at their livestock facility “We need the youth in the cattle industry. It’s nice to see interest and the kids getting this opportunity. Not everyone gets something like this.” Read! bit.ly/3MA48Ie

What a neat experience out at Cross County this morning. The Cougars are taking their Ag program to places you don’t often see. A bovine, one-of-a-kind day! Story coming soon!

Phil Buhman is a Columbus-based veterinarian/embryologist and owns Preferred Genetics for Bovine. He’s here at Cross County to speak to Ag students about the AI process. Afterwards, they’ll head outside to actually see AI in action.

We've been visiting schools for 10 years, and this is a first! Cross County has a large animal handling facility on site, the only of its kind. Today, they have a veterinarian coming in to work with the kids and AI two of their six heifers. Awesome example of student ownership!

The Cross County FFA will be selling mums again this fall. Quantities are limited - so order quickly! @CrossCounty1 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Good luck to Emmitt competing in Ag Literacy and Audrey, Briar, Abe, and Dane in Quiz @CrossCounty1

Good luck to these two competing this morning! Ema - Senior Public Speaking Ava - Extemporaneous Speaking @CrossCounty1

The full farm to table process is complete! Our @CrossCoFFA raises the chickens on campus, the chickens are butchered, FCS students get the chance fabricate, make chicken stock with the bones, and make chicken soup with the stock. Absolutely love it!

No, you’re not seeing double - it’s just 8th graders and their drawings showing what they’ve learned about Official FFA Dress!

Congrats to our LDE State Qualifiers: 2nd place - Emmitt Lonsdale, Ag Literacy Speaking 3rd place - Ava Cramer, Extemporaneous Speaking District Champ - Emaree Dickey, Sr. Public Speaking
