]]>Record Books are not considered a "fun" project, but they are a great learning tool, and essential when applying for a 4-H Scholarship. So the younger you start doing Record Books, the better they become as you tweak them each year!
For help with your Record Book, go to: http://texas4-h.tamu.edu/youth/recordkeeping.html . If you get stumped, Tommy or Dee Lee will be glad to assist you.
]]>Each project must be part of an organized and supervised program of work. The project must be planned and operated with the help of the organization advisor, produce sufficient income to repay the loan, and provide the youth with practical business and educational experience in agriculture-related skills.
To apply or learn more about youth loans or other loan programs, please contact your local USDA Service Center at www.fsa.usda.gov
]]>This is an intense three-day event offering detailed information based on exhibitor's experience level. This in-depth training not only provides a strong foundation for those showing cattle, but also instills the importance of sportsmanship, ethical decisions, and proper animal management.
This is an excellent program for both new and experienced beef exhibitors!
