Brownfield does not need more COVID testing sites, it needs more rapid test kits. That is according to Dave Clark, Interim Administrator of BRMC. Governor Abbott is seeking more federal funding for COVID-19 testing locations. Clark says that he is appreciative of Gov. Abbott’s hard work, but Brownfield needs more rapid testing kits. Brownfield’s testing centers go through 30-50 testing kits daily and will run out of the rapid tests today (Tuesday). “We have ordered our allocation of 300 testing kits, but they will not be here until next week. We need 500 tests but 300 is all we are allowed,” Clark said. The Omicron variant took everyone by surprise and the federal government is now having trouble mass-producing the tests. “Think about the mass population of this country and having enough tests to go around several times. It is a massive undertaking.” Clark replied. BRMC also offers COVID blood test testing through the hospital.

For as long as humans have domesticated animals in order to produce meat, livestock judging has been a critical skill. Butchers – and later, commercial meat packers – had to be able to judge how much meat they could cut out of an animal just by looking at a live animal. Breeders responsible for producing the next generation had to judge how well males would pass on desirable traits and how well females would produce and care for their offspring. Those responsible for raising the animals and feeding them to the point of slaughter had to judge how well the young animals would convert the food that was available into useful meat.
