July...hot and full of surprises

Farmer S and Farmer K spent the first week of July with members of the Sullivan and Johnson County Cattlemen's Associations touring ranches, feedlots and processing plants in Colorado. The experience was great all around. See all the pictures posted by Farmer S on our Facebook page. You'll also find links to interesting articles there as well. Go educate yourselves! July was declared Beef Month in Tennessee by Governor Haslam. Farmer S and Farmer K worked with the Sullivan County Young Farmers and Ranchers group to educate the general public about beef the Kingsport Farmer's Market. Did you know Tennessee is number 9 in producing cattle in the US? And cattle are the largest agricultural product produced in Tennessee.

And...Farmer S and Farmer K received a little surprise in mid-July. This little guy appeared in the Kentucky herd unexpectedly. His color markings suggest his father was not who it should have been. But, he's healthy and happy which is what counts!
