Impact Report Chaves County 4-H Program The Chaves County 4-H Program is a broad and active program that encompasses many activities throughout the year. The agent worked with 4-H members on traditional leadership activities as well as traditional support of club and county programs. 4-H members from Chaves County participated in both Senior Leadership Retreat and Teen Get Away, with the agent serving as chaperone for both activities. The agent held judging practices for Crops, Entomology, Wildlife, Meats Identification, and Horse beginning in the spring and continuing through State 4-H Conference. Thanks to volunteer leadership, Chaves County 4-H again had an active Shooting Sports Program. Youth participated in rifle, air rifle, shotgun, and archery at the State 4-H Shooting Sports Competition in Raton in May. Younger 4-H’ers also participated in the SE District 4-H Contests in rifle, air rifle, and archery. 4-H members also participated in Horse School and Lamb School. Chaves County is also fortunate to have a seasoned volunteer committee consisting of approximately 40 members which hosts the Chaves County 4-H Rodeo each year. The agent worked with the committee to put on the rodeo for 4-H members from across the state again this year. Recordbooks are an integral part of 4-H. Chaves County had one 4-H member who compiled and submitted a State Recordbook for competition and was chosen as a state winner. All 4-H activities teach subject matter, leadership, citizenship, other life skills, and assist youth in becoming productive and contributing members of society.
