County Line 4-H News
On Sunday (January 29) we had our third 4-H meeting. It was held at my farm, Echo Valley Farm. We worked with lamb and piglets. Little Buddy, who is a lamb, needed to have his vaccine. He also needed his tail docked, ear tagged and castrated. He didn’t have a very good day. I got to band his tail. Miley got to tag his ear. Mom gave him a shot. Then Natale held him while mom showed and helped Jessicia to band his testicles. Tails’ piglets needed their iron shot and vitamin shot. They were born just the day before. We each held one and my mom gave them shots. We left Trouble’s piglets alone because she doesn’t like strangers. We talked about why this stuff is needed and how to keep newborn piglets and lambs warm. We washed our hands and had snacks. It was a fun meeting. Maddie, Rolland, Miley, Rosalie, Talyah, Avaree, Ryleigh, Natale, and Maeson. All attend this 4-H meeting. We will see you next time.
