The Cooperation Of Beef and Poultry
Larry and Kathleen Holt, who own K and L Farms in Mount George, Ark., have two successful farming operations that they have decided, complement each other perfectly. On the Holt’s 1,000-acre farm south of Russellville, Ark., they have both a Beefmaster operation and a poultry operation.
A Family of Goats
Tom Nelson was typical of so many young men raised in the Ozarks – always around cattle and wanting to stay on the farm, but yet knowing that a job off the farm would be necessary in order to get by.
Learning From Poultry Experience
It was Albert Einstein who famously said, “The only source of knowledge is experience.” Experience and wisdom are the two words that first come to mind when you meet Gene Pharr of Lincoln, Ark. Gene is steeped in the hands-on knowledge that comes with growing up on a chicken and turkey farm in Lincoln. Gene expanded his experience when he headed to college at the University of Arkansas, where he graduated with his degree in Animal Science in 1975. He started working as a turkey serviceman for the Campbell Soup Company after graduation, where he jokes that he was a bridge across the cultural divide for the company.
A Little Horse Teachin’
"There is a lot of opportunity for people to participate," Steve Jones, Extension Horse Specialist and Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas said of the University’s Horsemanship School held May 14-16, 2009. The school is trying to serve people wanting to learn how to start their colts under a saddle for the first time or those with some riding experience wanting to develop their skills further. Steve said he realized to handle that many colts at the same time; he would have to have several round pens and individual instructors. Steve limits the class to between 12 and 14 riders and unlimited non-riders each year.
