Ranch & Farm Hosts Farm Field Day for OK State Univ. Dept. of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture's Camp T. U. R. F. 2011... 6.18.2011. The heat and insects didn’t deter the 24 high school kids from OSU’s TURF program from coming to the farm and enjoying an educational tour for about three hours. A couple of pictures of the kids exiting their buses as they arrived at the farm are show below! They were truly intrigued by the dung beetles, dragon flies, blister beetles, song birds and our mostly heritage animals including one black Arabian stallion and the buffalo who all showed off for them by prancing and running around! The Large Black Pigs were fighting over who got to be petted and the kids asked a lot of terrific questions related to small farms, health and real food. It was a treat to have these kids who had never seen unshorn or wool bearing sheep. Their facilitator, Shelley Mitchell, said we had her favorite cows, Belted Galloway! She said she knew what they were immediately on sight! We are looking forward to hosting kids in this program every year! More articles here>
