Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center

NAILE 2025 is off to a great start for the Ag Business students! Pigs are unloaded ✅ and the students have been amazing. Gearing up for a great week of learning and showing after three months of hard work. Our stock trailer looks great after a team effort from our class with welding and Mr. Harper on a wheel powdercoat refresh, and Mr. Ernst and the auto class for mounting the tires and looking over the school truck before our trip. We would also like to thank Mr. Zach Vermeulen for taking a lot of supplies down for us and helping us get settled in. We could not make this trip possible with out the support of our CTC staff, administration, and all of the many people who make this possible. Colten Ball (Ball Farms), a graduate of the AgBusiness program and former National Livestock team  member, helped us get enough pigs to show, provided us with a special feed program, and answered questions for us when they came up. Cherry Fork Feed and Tisha Wolfer have been nothing short of amazing providing feed, supplies, show supplies, and getting behind our students in every way to have a great experience. The jackets she sponsored our group with are very nice and we appreciate the excitement she has for our students to be successful. Thanks to all of the parents who have offered food, snacks, and to anyone else we may have missed. Here’s to NAILE 2025! 🐽 🐷
