| Impact Report | State 4-H Livestock School: Thirty- two Socorro County youth and adults attended the NM State 4-H Livestock School. Raising livestock is nothing new to traditional 4-H youth but someone who has a lot of odds against him; raising livestock is just what they need. Nineteen youth from the NM Boys and Girls Ranch attended Livestock school in the hopes of learning…well pretty much everything there is to know about their animal. Every youth living at The Ranches is required to participate in 4-H and raise an animal. First year members are required to raise a large livestock species and youth that have advanced to an upper level are only required to raise small stock. It is amazing to watch these youth grow through experience. At the beginning of year these youth wouldn’t even touch the animal and then come fair time they cried because they had to let it go. Through this experience, they learned responsibility, caring and passion for something other than themselves. I am so glad that they have gotten this opportunity and know that their future is much brighter due to this experience. |
