GC Ag students had some experiential learning opportunities today! The introduction to ag class was able to be involved with castrating hogs. A PVC fitting in the shop blew and it made for a great PVC lesson for one of the ag mech classes.
Big thanks to Cody Trimble and Rebel Royall for providing us an animal science opportunity.
