High School students in Large Animal Health and Nutrition with Mr. Mack have been learning about cattle diseases and animal ear tagging. Students performed California Mastitis Tests comparing milk samples to see what the somatic cell counts (scc) were. Dr. Leah Secord, a Sauk Prairie alum and veterinarian at Waunakee Veterinary Clinic, collected the samples. Students also learned how to properly tag an animal ear. They were given different tags and had to tag the ear in the correct space. This class time was a great example of hands on learning of skills and knowledge that are used regularly on farms. Thank you Dr. Secord for being a part of our students' learning ☺️

Agriculture Education classes are planting now for a colorful holiday season. Students have been in the greenhouse trying to grow poinsettias. Poinsettias require hours of complete darkness. As this is the first full year in the greenhouse, students are experimenting to see if they can grow poinsettias to then sell. Classes have also been growing micro greens for the school lunch program! #spsdlearns #togetherwesoar #ageducation
