Lake Gibson Senior FFA

Summer is off to a great start and we have lots of projects.

Currently we need the following:

Lamb area finished, pens set up, automatic waterers installed, fans installed, tent stabilized.

Swine Area:

We are in need of someone to do some floor repairs in our farrowing crates. This requires someone with a welder on their truck. We don't have the power capability at our barn to plug in one of our welders and the crates are too heavy to move to the shop.

Wash down the slab and put up the new pig pens. It is imperative this is done now so a work order can be put in for water. This can not wait until the start of the school year or we take the chance of not having automatic waterers for the pigs.

Some students are coming to help tomorrow evening Wednesday June 24 starting at 4pm. It is currently so hot we've decided to work a few evenings instead of Saturday. I am also available Thursday June 25th. The pens are very heavy and take several people to set up.

Please let us know if you can help!

We are so incredibly proud of our students and their successes at state convention!
