The Graves County 4-H Livestock Club partnered with the Purchase District Fair to revive 4-H Livestock Shows in 2020. It had been many years since livestock shows had been held in the county. There were 29 exhibit entries, 12 goat show entries, 8 cattle show entries, 12 swine show entries, 6 rabbit show entries, and 6 poultry show entries. A sheep show was also offered to the surrounding counties. 4-H Livestock Club teens worked together to announce winners, classes, and pass out ribbons.

The new 4-H Horse Club in Graves County is providing opportunities for youth to learn more about horses while meeting new friends and caring adults. Over 40 members have enrolled in the club and over half received their six hours of education to be able to compete in state-level events. Youth had many educational experiences including guest speakers, farm visits, riding clinics, hippology practices, and more to prepare them for the opportunities available through the 4-H Horse Program.
