<div class='inside_text'>This year’s professional bull riding event at the Vermilion campus Indoor Riding Arena on February 17 was a sure fire success. The winner was Chad Besplug from Clarsholm, Alta. He is pictured here with Milt Wakefield, chairman of the college’s board of governors, and Doug Stewart, president of the Vermilion Agricultural Society. Besplug had a 85.5 point ride in the first round and a 89.5 ride in the second round. His total prize earnings were $5,049. About 1,500 people attended the event. Lakeland College’s Rodeo Club plans to host the event again in 20113, the college’s centennial year. Big thanks to everyone who took part in the event as a spectator, sponsor or volunteer!</div>

<div class='inside_text'>Is that a triple-triple or double-double? Animal science technology students Deandra Stachura, Amber Smith, Calla Martin, Darlene Ehalt, Andi Pinhold and Dana Gard, who also make up a lambing team as part of the program’s sheep production class, had a busy night Friday, March 2. From 7 to 9 pm, four college ewes lambed three sets of triplets and one set of twins. That’s 11 lambs born in two hours! Since Feb. 13, 240 lambs have been born on the college farm. Lambing peaked during the first week of March with 150 lambs born in one week. It’s been a very successful lambing year on the college farm with mature ewes averaging two lambs per ewe and a death loss rate at less than 4 per cent. The industry provincial average is 10 per cent. Lambing on the college farm is a joint effort between the sheep production class and the Student Managed Farm’s sheep team under the guidance of Lakeland staffers Joanne Dickson and Blair Dow.</div>

<div class='inside_text'>Janelle Hawkins of Kindersley can't wait to begin her studies at Lakeland College this fall. She's been accepted into the animal science technology program. She was on campus on Friday, March 16 during Ag-Citing and toured the Sheep & Cattle Facility on the college farm. Approximately 200 visitors from throughout western Canada travelled to the Vermilion campus for the event.</div>
