Learn to raise your own meat at new Everett class

Posted at 1:56 pm

Maybe you’re tired of buying beef and chicken that may have be shipped for thousands of miles before landing in the local grocery store’s meat locker.

Maybe you just want to know more about how meat animals can be raised responsibly.

Either way, if the source of the meat on your family’s dining table concerns you, consider attending “Livestock 101,” a class that will be offered at Everett Station through WSU’s Extension Livestock Advisor. The class is designed to help meat eaters become more knowledgeable about their food, or learn to raise livestock – including backyard-friendly chickens – themselves.

The 10-week class is set to begin on Sept. 17. It will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. each Wednesday through Dec. 10.

Topics will include mud, manure, pasture, and other livestock management practices. The class costs $125, but students are also expected to volunteer for 50 hours within two years of completing the class. Once the volunteer hours are completed, students get a $50 rebate.

Apply by Sept. 10. For more information, call Joan DeBries at 360-428-4270, ext. 240.
