Success StoryLivestock Club



Livestock Club

Author: Dianna Reed

Planning Unit: Johnson County CES

Major Program: Agriculture

Plan of Work: Livestock and Crops

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Johnson County Extension Council and the 4-H Program Council identified Agriculture knowledge and practice for youth as a program priority for the Plan of Work. To address this need, once it was determined youth were interested in participating, the 4-H Agent began the search for a Livestock club leader. Once the leader was identified and passed the volunteer screening, the leader attended a certified volunteer training. The Livestock club program began in 2021. In this 2 year time frame, the club membership has doubled, and beginning this 3rd year, has expanded from Poultry Judging to include Country Hams and the Avian Bowl Event along with animal husbandry and showmanship in rabbits and swine. Partnerships have been formed with our local Tractor Supply store to support our club members as well. Members are preparing to show animals and to compete in various State Fair Contests, so we will update this story as information becomes available.
