past. When that happens, Reynolds said,

a negative and stressful implication.
Revnolds
said that students involved

with 4-H attended the class to learn
about ways to work with the catde that
they’ve purchased.
“It’s a good tool right now for train­
ing those youth that have an interest in
agriculture,” Reynolds said.
In the past, Reynolds said, tribal
members all worked together when it
came to raising cattle, and they spent
time with the animals. In today’s soci­
ety, he added, “We don’t really have
that kind o f time.”
“We’ve lost those skills where you
worked with your animals,” Reynolds
said.
