| Impact Report | The additions of a 4-H agent in Catron County has had immediate results. Catron County 4-H youth won both the Livestock and Crops Contest held during state conference. Catron County has had a 4-H agent for the past year as a result my 4-H work has become more centered on certain project areas. I coached the livestock team and provide support to club and project leaders. The team that won livestock also won the New Mexico State FFA contest in livestock. 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. Catron County also had an increase in the numbers of youth participating at district contest. More than 30 youth attended district contest witch is about 25% of the counties 4-H enrollment. Catron Counties participation at the New Mexico State Fair also increased. 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. |
