Rental Equipment
Did you know that we have a variety of equipment available for rent to help you with your farming enterprise? We received a grant from the NC Tobacco Trust Fund Commission through NC AgVentures to purchase a Priefert S04 portable cattle chute and palpation cage. Call 336-593-8179 or email April Bowman at awbowman@ncsu.edu to reserve the new chute, livestock scales,
and/or cattle panels.
