Outcome: Initial Outcome
Two newly certified Livestock Leaders met with the 4-H Agent to plan a new Livestock Club for all species. At the planning meeting, the leaders and agent worked on a schedule and chose topics for meetings and discussed meeting structure. So far, three Livestock Club meetings have been held with between 8 to 14 youth in attendance. A subgroup is being developed to work on Livestock Judging with separate practices from the regular club meetings. The group had a Texas Roadhouse Fundraiser to raise funds for their club. A collegiate livestock judger was a speaker for one of the club meetings. One of the certified leaders will help with the Country Ham Project. Both certified leaders will be attending the Kentucky Volunteer Forum to earn their 2 continuing education hours and to learn more about being a Certified Livestock Leader.
