Be Healthy

When it comes to having a healthy lifestyle, eating fruits and vegetables is just one piece of the puzzle. You'll need to find a balance between good eating habits and physical activity.

Livestock Record Keeping

This spring we launched a new 4-H livestock record keeping program.  The program is simple.  All members need to do is complete the record and summary sheet found here.

4-H members in beef, sheep, swine, goat and dairy are invited to participate.

Livestock record sheets are due in the 4-H Fair office by Tuesday, July 17th.  Some records will be selected for special awards.
