Last Saturday, May 8th, Douglas County weighed in 45 steers for this year's County Fair. After some heavy duty snow putting a damper on things on our original date, we enjoyed the 50 degree weather.
Beef Superintendent, Jerry Riley, and his crew did a great job getting steers weighed, tatooed, ear tagged and nose printed in a few short hours.
If you see them, make sure to say thanks to Phil Riesselman, Joe Mullins, Steve McManus, Joanie Shoemaker, George Geiger, Steve Christenson and Patti Rawson for all their help this year.
Our next livestock weigh in is scheduled for May 4th with goats at noon and sheep and hogs at 1pm.
There is still time to sign up for these projects! The deadline is May 1st. If you don't have the property to keep them, don't let that keep you from getting involved! We have lots of options. The CALF Ranch in Castle Rock (our urban farm) is currently accepting applications to house animals on their property and be involved in all three projects. Give us a call at the office for more information!
