Laramie County cattlewomen host annual Ag Expo

The 2024 Laramie County Cattlewomen’s Ag Expo was held Sept. 17-18 at the Archer Complex in Cheyenne. The event is held annually for Laramie County fourth graders to provide education about different agricultural businesses, farm safety, conservation and electricity. 

Approximately 600 students from Laramie County School District (LCSD) #1 and LCSD #2 attended the event. 

Education ranged from learning about brands and farm safety, beef and wheat byproducts and hands-on experience with pigs, goats, sheep and horses. 

Students also learned about electrical safety with High West Energy and watched Border collies herd steers. They also planted trees with the Laramie County Conservation District and learned about wool and weaving from local weavers. 

The Ag Expo is sponsored by many local businesses, and local FFA chapter members are instrumental in helping keep the event going every year. 

“Many thanks go out to our volunteers and members for helping us have another successful year,” the Laramie County Cattlewomen state.
