There are 6.4 million head of cattle in Kansas. That was one of the facts presented to approximately 600 third grade students from USD 475 during Ag Day at the Geary County 4-H fairgrounds on Friday. They learned about topics ranging from livestock to wheat.
Ginger Kopfer, 4-H Extension Agent noted that the students are learning where their food comes from. "So we're learning about cattle and pigs, sheep and goats. There was also education about corn, soybeans and wheat.
Kopfer thought the students really enjoyed seeing the animals. "So being able to see a pig in person which they may have never done, particularly maybe sheep and goats that they've never seen either."
The Ag Day programs are taught by 4-H members and Extension Educational Unit members from Geary County.
