Today, the WHS Animal Science and Vet Science students had a great hands-on learning experience as they vaccinated, wormed, and ear-tagged some calves. A huge thank you to Levi Bonham and family for allowing us to work with your cattle—we truly appreciate the opportunity!
Only one calf had to make a second trip through the chute due to a minor counting error and a misplaced tag. That student is now proudly sporting the yellow ear tag as a reminder of the day’s lessons!
