The K-State Extension โ Barber County Market Broiler Program is officially underway!
19 Barber County youth enrolled in the program, and over 150 chicks were distributed this past week along with feed and poultry supplements to help participants get started strong.
Over the next several weeks, these youth will learn responsibility, animal care, record keeping, and poultry management as they prepare their market broilers for exhibition at the Barber County Fair. Following the fair, the birds will be processed, helping youth gain a full understanding of food production from start to finish.
A huge THANK YOU to our program sponsor, Infinite Health Labs, LLC of Stillwater, OK, for supporting this opportunity for Barber County youth. We also appreciate May Precision AG for serving as the distribution center and helping make chick pick up run smoothly.
We look forward to seeing these exhibitors and their broilers at the Barber County Fair!
