The Club spent the month of January focused on animal science and community service. We completed an activity on beef, learning breeds, anatomy and care. Also another ultrasound session was held to use the ultrasound to check on the goats (due in March).
Sorting seeds for our annual seed give away is ongoing. This project gathers seeds from seed companies and distributes them to school and community gardens.
