Some of the members may be raising an animal for the first time, while others may have their own breeding stock and have been involved in livestock production for several years. With livestock production comes great responsibility as well as a way to expand a youth’s knowledge. Glenn and Becky Bowman of Shasta Valley Meats in Montague recently held an open...
