Trinity Valley Community College AG & Ranch Management

Jonathon Hairgrove tagging and weighing a newborn heifer calf today in the wonderful rain out of a former show heifer that bred a little late. She will be the oldest in the Fall group of calves that will start being born in late August. 

Ag students/Beef Cattle show team members, Bailey Caballero and Avery Kolacek greatly helped in recruiting at the Texas State FFA convention this week. It was held at the Fort Worth convention center. We had the opportunity to talk with many FFA members from across the state.

Our new Hay barn at the TVCC Ranch is completed. Couldn’t resist posting a photo. 

TVCC Ag students taking entomology enjoyed a little treat today as we discussed beneficial aspects of insects, in which one is a food source.  Chocolate covered crickets anyone? 

The Trinity Valley Community College Ag Club attended the Texas Junior College Agriculture Association Convention held at Sam Houston State University this past Thursday and Friday. There were five TVCC students who attended. Our club president, Isabella Lucio, served as State Reporter and she and Shiloh Sartain brought home the first place award for the scrap book contest. I’m in the process of having the scrapbook scanned by our graphic and print design department and will post the link to it later. We went on tours of the Texas prison museum, and the Sam Houston museum while we were in Huntsville.
