4-H livestock member, Megan Pennington, was featured in the July/August 2020 issue of Mountain Telephone's Connection magazine. 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.
