space, the school does all of
its cattle breeding ar
tificially, and they buy their
feed.
Other farm animals that
the students work with and
learn from include 9
registered Polled Hereford
beef cattle. The city pastures
lure dotted with 15 registered
Suffolk ewes and 20 market
lambs, too. And, the 23
feeder pigs purchased by the
students for their FFA
projects find themselves far
from the Lancaster
Stockyard, nestled into a
comfortable mud bole at a
nearby hog shed.
As teacher-advisor Ed
Hall explained, each of the
students at Saul High School
is an FFA member. Those
students who want to raise a
feeder pig for a project buy a
pig on their tnp to Lan
caster, and then keep it at
the school.
“The kids pay for
everything, and they have to
take care of the pig,
weighing it every week.
After the winter market hog
sale, the feed bill is divided
by 23. What each student
owes is taken out of their
sale check. If a student
winds up losing money on the
project, the gives
them $S that way nobody
loses,” Hall said.
Ed Hall’s enthusiasm for
the school seems to be
contagious among his
students, and fellow
teachers. Hail is one of two
teachers who graduated
from Saul High School and
returned. His counterpart,
Steve Peak, is the instructor
of laboratory animal
production. There are 16
vocational agriculture
teachers in all.
Hall explained that the
school is open to any resident
of Philadelphia, but it’s hard
to get in. He pointed out each
year the school holds two
days of interviews, talking to
roughly 400 applicants.
