Good morning, Shreveport.

Family farms in northwest Louisiana continue raising beef, dairy cattle, and sheep as they adjust to changing markets.

Local farmers, including Randy Morell and the Volentine family, handle production themselves (from milking to delivery) to meet growing local demand.

Christian Service held its annual summer fundraiser Saturday evening to support its mission of feeding those in need + volunteers and staff testified about the impact of their work, which has provided over three million meals since 1970 and continues to serve the local community.

At Morrell Dairy Farm in Mooringsport, cows are milked in one building and milk is bottled in a neighboring building to prepare dairy products for local customers.
