Today I post from my old stomping ground of Laramie, Wyoming. My sister and I have been loving our 4 day lay over at high elevation but it’s about time to head down the other side of the Rockies! I look forward to seeing what St. Louis has to offer even though I generally try to avoid big cities like that. From this trip I hope to broaden my agricultural knowledge. I’m going in with an open mind and look forward to comparing and contrasting between what I know and what I learn and experience on this trip. From our schedule I am most looking forward to the last bit of the trip. Beef cattle are a passion of mine so I look forward to seeing University of Nebraska and their feed lot. I have been to UNL twice before but only for horse shows, I got a glimpse of their animal science program from the outside and I’m excited to finally see what it is all about!
