<\/a>Aroostook Valley 4-H Baby Beef Club\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

On March 24<\/span>th <\/span>our club had the opportunity to visit the University of Maine\u00a0 campus! We visited the grazing behavior lab, where we learned\u00a0 about tracking the grazing habits of animals using GPS! Then\u00a0 we moved on to the Witter farm, where Colt Knight had a\u00a0 branding exercise for us after we toured the barns. Next was the\u00a0 Page farm museum where we broke into teams and had a\u00a0 scavenger hunt, (the parents team won first place!) and then\u00a0 back to Hitchner for a glow germ\/ cutting board exercise!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a great day of learning and building friendships! We\u00a0 highly recommend this tour to any 4H group or club!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Phase 2 – NEWVEC will gather the information you share and through a lottery process select residential properties to participate in a research study to test what\u2019s working.<\/span>
