FFA students study cattle industry

Crook County youth participating in beef projects will have the opportunity to work with professional cattle guru, Kirk Stierwalt at a show clinic in May at the Crook County fairgrounds. Mr. Stierwalt’s clinics have been very successful in helping people of all ages acquire the skills needed to put the “competitive edge” on their side.

Along with these needed skills, our clinics provide a wealth of knowledge including many things that have taken years of “being in the business” to learn. Participants have gone on from these sessions and received immediate and rewarding results on local and national levels.

These clinics provide a hands-on course with supervision at all times. Youth will learn proven techniques and tips on clipping, hoof trimming, show day dressing, showmanship, feeding and general care.

These clinics are an excellent crash course on everything in the show cattle industry. Sundance State Bank is a proud sponsor of this clinic.
