Dezire Harlan and Barrett Beutler teamed up for an advanced project in the Agriscience class this year. The team studied the Lunar Effects on Bo’s Taurus Behavior.
Are kids really more crazy during a full moon? Maybe cattle are too? Should we avoid working cattle on days during full moons? Are they more aggressive then for some reason?
That’s what they sought to find out. Research shows that there may be a correlation, and so they hypothesized that it would be better not to work cattle on those days to avoid injury.
After their research, it actually seems they are most calm during a waxing moon! If you can schedule it then, it may be beneficial. Calmer animals, fewer injuries.
They presented their findings at WSC Friday, March 20 at the National Junior Academy of Sciences competition. It was a fantastic opportunity to speak about their project and interact with the judges.

Cason earned 2nd place and won a great prize from Beck’s Seed—congrats!

The B-R art students participated in the annual Big Show in Wakefield. Congrats to all the B-R entries for receiving purples ribbons. Also, congratulations to Tyler Stromberg for receiving B-R's student artist award with his colored pencil drawing of his cat titled "Mac". Participating schools also competed in making a project out of paper clips. Our students chose to make a decorative tree out of paper clips. It was a fun filled day!
Anything but a backpack day for FFA Week at BR did NOT disappoint 👏
Our students absolutely brought the creativity and school spirit—everything from the hilarious to the downright genius. You could tell they understood the assignment and then some.
Safe to say they knocked it out of the park. Proud of this crew for making it such a fun and memorable day! 💙🌾 #FFAWeek #SchoolSpirit #AnythingButABackpack

It was a great way to build friendships, practice reading skills, and celebrate the joy of stories. We love seeing our students inspire each other through reading! ❤️📖
