It's Time to Think Livestock!

Last Saturday Richmond County's Livestock Agent, Tiffanee Conrad-Acuna, and I had quite an adventure! We went to help out with an awesome training at the Robeson County Regional Fairgrounds for about 50 youth & parents/leaders who are interested in showing livestock this year. Charlie Brown, Tiff's retired show goat & horse companion, helped us with the goat section & everyone seemed to get a kick out of our heifer improv as Tiffanee & I helped Robeson County's Livestock Agent Michelle Shooter with the heifer class!

For all the info & pictures, check out the Robeson County 4-H Blog at www.robeson4-h.blogspot.com! We were sorry that no one from Richmond County could attend this year, but are looking forward to seeing how these young showmen grow and care for their animals over the next few months!

If anyone happens to see this & wants more information about showing livestock this fall, please call Tiffanee or Michelle at the Extension Office at 997-8255! We have several youth who show goats in the Sandhills Farm Credit Circuit and some who show chickens and rabbits at local shows. We can even help you find an animal if you don't already have one!
