| Impact Report | Most of my 4-H work includes coaching the livestock judging team and providing support to club and project leaders. Coaching these youth has been very rewarding. By working with these youth not only in 4-H but also through the school system in FFA, the Extension Office has developed an excellent relationship with our local schools. I also coached a team of junior members who placed second the Arizona National Livestock contest in December and a team that placed third at the national catlemans convention. Catron County hosted district caontest and had more than 20 youth attend. This is about 25% of the counties 4-H enrollment. Ranch Days is a very important youth activity. All preschool through 8th grade youth in the Reserve School system and all 4th and 5th graders from Quemado and two schools in Silver City participate in ranch days. Youth are presented hands on agriculture workshops over two days on the McKeen ranch. More than 200 youth were presented a program on branding and livestock management. I am an instructor for steer school. This year I had 47 youth and adults from trough out New Mexico and Arizona. The participants are provided training on steer selection, feeding, manegement, fitting and showmanship. |
