As 4-H show and sales are fast approching or just finished it makes me realize that 4-H is kinda how I roll these days, by this I mean that the economic benifit of selling your steer for much higher then market value is able to pay for alot of things. For me it has 4 wheels, 4-h money paid for my first truck and will pay for some of my post secondary schooling. This is most certainly not the only benifit of 4-H however. being involved in 4-H for the last 8 years I have made alot of friends, collected alot of memories, learned alot of things, had tremendous opportunities, and had alot of fun.
Today I had the opportunity to judge showmanship and grooming at the Rocky 4-H show. It was a great learning experience for myself and and I hope that I was able to help out some of the members that were participating. I send congratulations to all of the members involved on a job well done.
4-H is a great program to be involved in and I along with many others have learned alot and made several lifelong friends and memories. If you are between the ages of 9 and 21 and interested in getting involved in agriculture it is a great place to start. You can also check into youth programs within the breed associations. there are all sorts of great ways to get involved in agriculture you just have to make that first step. 4-H has had a huge influence on and in my life and it can for you too.
Until next time,
Luke
