We have had a successful year with the youth livestock program.  We were able to work with the 4-H and FFA students a few activities to bring them together for some team building activities.  We watched SILO together and fixed tacos and brought items in for the tornado victims.  The students were also together to tour the University of Kentucky Meats Lab, Bluegrass Stockyards, and the UK Sheep unit.  These activities brought the kids together to learn more about their projects and share ideas and concerns.  

The Breckinridge County Fair brought in 50 youth, novice, 4-H and FFA to exhibit beef, swine, sheep, goats, and rabbits.  The poultry kids brought pictures of their projects as the Avian Flu prevented them from travelling.  The Farm Bureau and FairBoard host the shows and the Youth Premium Livestock Auction in which 27 youth were eligible.  The Premium Auction brought in $48,589.00 above market price with an additional $23,000 as added donations to the youth.  We are so proud of our youth in completing their projects.
