Cattle Activities
Presnell Plantation Cattle Company’s registered Angus cattle operation affords the Foundation with an exciting and interesting venue to offer Plantation guests. Many invaluable life lessons can be gleaned from the livestock activities featured at the Plantation.
The Foundation hosts livestock judging workouts and practices for local 4-H and FFA clubs and organizations, as well as for collegiate livestock judging teams. Livestock judging clinics and educational seminars in the field of animal agriculture are also offered to local clubs and organizations. These clinics emphasize the development of decision-making skills and attention to detail in a high-spirited atmosphere where everyone enjoys a good time.
Cattle grooming and fitting is another activity featured at the Plantation. 4-H and FFA members wanting to learn about daily care and show day preparation for their cattle will profit from a clinic held at the Plantation. There is no substitute for actual, hands-on interaction with the animals.
The Foundation also offers showmanship clinics that teach the fundamentals of this fascinating discipline. Participants have the opportunity to compete in quiz contests, where they are challenged to learn about the livestock and food industries and their impact on society.
