Megan is a 7 year member of the Elliott County 4-H Livestock Club and has participated in local, district, and state level livestock shows. Megan has developed a passion for the cattle industry after being introduced through 4-H livestock. Megan has grown the scope of her livestock project from one market steer project to having two breeding heifer projects and a market steer project this year. She has also used her knowledge gained through the 4-H livestock program to begin her own herd of commercial cows. Megan said the project has taught her how to take responsibility for her actions and how to make decisions based on the current livestock market.
