The school farm is in full swing considering the swine have arrived! 89 pigs have joined the Elk Grove FFA and are currently living at the school farm. In addition, four steers are currently calling the farm home along with a couple sheep and eight goats. This month will be spent accumulating the rest of the animals for the Sacramento County Fair.
