The first stop on the Farm Tour was the Turkey raising pen. Lots of questions were asked by guests and Bernard educated the crowds on his Turkey raising practices.

The next stop on the Farm Tour was the chickens. First the egg-layers/pasture "optimizers" then the meat chickens in their mobile brooders. A great question and answer session took place and everyone learned how healthy Full of Life Farm eggs and chickens are.

The last stop on the Farm Tour was a visit to one of the cattle grazing areas. Bernard gave a demonstration of how easy it was for him to move his cattle from one grazing section to another and explained his practice of "strip grazing" and how this maintains the health of the land. Lots of questions from the crowd.

Once the Farm Tour was finished, Marvin Pierce of Pierce's Cow Dogs gave an awesome demonstration on the use of dogs for cattle herding. He had his great Hangin' Tree Cowdog, Sport and Cattle Master dog, Chic with him.
