| Impact Report | On April 13th the 4-H agent held a record book training morning at the local McDonald’s conference room. We had ten 4-H members and one parent attend. Only 3 of the 4-H members in attendance had ever submitted a record book before so it is encouraging to see these other 4-H members get involved in this important process. The group went over the new Livestock Record sheets in detail and answered questions on the importance of knowing why your animal’s gains a certain amount of weight and amount feed fed. There are vital skills learned through the record keeping process. Record keeping is a skill that these 4-H members will use for the rest of their lives. 80% of the youth in attedance said they gained a better understanding of the 4-H record book process and 90% of them understand now why it is important to keep records of their projects through the 4-H program year. |
