Great AgVenture
The CattleWomen dedicate time every year for the Great AgVenture events at the Paso Robles Event Center in Paso Robles, CA as well as the Arroyo Grand High School in Arroyo Grand, CA. Students learn from agricultural experts in our community. Bringing a new way to educate youth through community outreach. Members are asked to join in the fun by volunteering at each event. It's a great way to give back and interact with kids, plus learn something new. If you have a 4th grader, be sure to join in the fun at the Great AgVenture.

Working Dogs, Wool, Planting:
Gary Williams shows how a working dog can be used to move cattle. Wool is spun on a spinning wheel so that the kids can see the sheep with their wool and then how a piece of clothing can be made from their fiber. Kids have the opportunity to plant their own fertilizer trial, applying various rates to plants to see the results.
