Now that fall is here, and most spring-born calves are being weaned, 4-Hers and FFA students across Nebraska are looking over the calf crops and picking out market steer prospects for the 2024 county fair. Calves are carefully evaluated against a list of criteria, selected, and brought home. Now what?
Engler is an entrepreneurship program at the University ofNebraska–Lincoln.
