Geauga Beef and Swine
The April 14 meeting for the Geauga Beef and Swine Club was called to order at 4:07 p.m. by vice president Addie Burnett at the Hambden Township Hall. There were 32 members present.
The meeting was focused on an opportunity to raise funds. Members welcomed representatives from the Buckeye Retriever Club. They discussed an amazing opportunity for club members to work at their events to raise money for the club. They discussed the jobs that they would do while attending their events and there was a lot of interest from club members and parents.
Six club members presented their report topics at the April meeting. Faith presented parasites in cattle, Brayden presented his report on swine routine and Aiden presented his own turkey diseases. Coby, Coltin and Lauren also presented their reports. The vice president also assigned new reports for the May meeting.
Poultry members are awaiting their turkeys, and swine members are busy selecting their hogs. Mr. Calabrese shared information about swine tagging, which is due May 18. Lamb and goat tagging is also due then.
For education, all members reviewed worksheets on medication inserts and labels.
The next meeting is May 19 at 4 p.m. at the fairgrounds school building. (Submitted by Allie Stumph, 12, news reporter)
