That's a wrap on the 99th National FFA Convention. I can't say enough how amazing these 6 young men and women are. They represented our chapter, school, and community in the most professional, respectful, and honorable way. We spent the day by getting the inside look at some alternative livestock production systems. Our first stop was at Montrose Alpaca Ranch where we learned about the fiber industry. Our final stop was at Hardy Reindeer Ranch in central Illinois where we toured the Ranch that pioneered domestic reindeer production in the lower 48 states.
