Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
For many years, Henderson County has had a strong livestock program. Due to its size, it sometimes was difficult to make sure all youth were being served and given the same opportunities.
Since 2014 Henderson County has been in the process of developing a livestock club to help organize our local livestock program. Currently there are 31 youth that completed club work in 2015-2016 year. The 4-H members completed record books this year to help them determine their profits and losses, as well as keep track of animal issues and progress. The 2018-2019 year showed less animal health concerns than Henderson has ever had, and more preventative measures due to the youth keeping an up to date record and reviewing them constantly. Overwhelmingly, the 4-H members learned how to properly keep detailed records, set goals and a budget. This program will allow the 4-H members to better maintain their livestock work and plan for the following years.
