A new beef cattle teaching farm is building up its facilities and herd to educate high school students on cattle industry opportunities.
Tammy Bartholomew, the executive director of the Show Me Youth Ag Academy, tells Brownfield the nearly 170-acre operation outside of Lamar, Missouri will cover every aspect of beef cattle business – including an off-sight 400 head feed lot.
“These students are getting direct hands-on education with everything from conception to chef,” she said.
