If you are a follower of this blog you know all about the Glenview Clovers 4-H club. They are one of my favorite groups to work with. We meet about once a month and for the May meeting we had a guest speaker. Dave Wesemann from Genoa, Illinois came to talk about feeding animals. What made the presentation relevant is Dave happens to be the man who owns the feed mill that makes all of the items we feed to the 4-H livestock. What's in a pellet? Why is protein so important? Or my favorite confession/question, what happens when I mix up the feeds for pigs and sheep were all answered. By the way, did you know that pig feed can kill a sheep because of the copper content? Dave is a former farm kid and 4-Her and it was great to hear more about how the food we fed our animals is carefully thought out and made before it comes to us.
Thanks Dave!
