General Updates and Discussion Items:

Board President Aaron Helus reported that there have been some questions from Dairy Cattle and Beef Barn about drug testing and was specifically being tested for. Everyone did end up signing the forms and were reminded that they can declare all drugs on their forms.

He noted that Lamb testing went well.

It was noted that there have been some release issues in that there is no checking as they leave the park. It is something to work on to tighten up or maybe provide a second check out.
