Chickens, Crawfish & a Cow-Chasing Dachshund -- TWILA 6-13-25

This week on TWILA, we take you from Evangeline Parish, where crawfish farmers are already prepping next year’s crop, to the marshes of Chauvin for the annual Farm Bureau Fishing Rodeo. We profile Dylan and Shelby Laster, Young Farmers & Ranchers finalists raising chickens, cattle, and kids with care, and we cheer on a Louisiana 4-H archer heading to the world stage. Plus, meet a miniature dachshund with a big job in this week’s TWILA Boost, and tour a dairy in Franklinton producing award-worthy cheesecakes, eggnog, and more.
