4H Projects

Down to the last 5wks, both animals and boys are progressing nicely. They've settled into a strict schedule of feeding/tieing/rinsing/washing/blowing/brushing/walking 6 of 7days each week.

There's a whole lotta action happening in the 1st pic from last night lol.

2.5wks out, Wyatt's first judging ("Skill-A-Thon") as a true 4-H'r is tonight. I'm proud of him and the effort he put into learning/listening for this project, but he rushed the board lol. We had some good times slinging BBs for what felt like forever in the heat most days, but he really progressed with gun handling and using the safety.

The older 2 and I did a deep pen clean yesterday and got switched over to shavings, from straw. The fellas are enjoying the softer and cooler setup and I didnt realize how much I missed the smell of pine in the barn lol.

Awesome stuff, brother! Those project become a family effort and it makes for some great memories.

We had judging here last night and I served as a judge for Beginner and Intermediate Fishing, and Gun Safety. I enjoyed getting to talk to the kids about their projects and look forward to doing it again. While I was doing that, Kaydence was nailing her cooking project. She got a Superior and gets to go to state. Kenna even presented a Cloverbud project and brought home a ribbon for her efforts. We've had Kaydence's chickens for a week and had to tag her goats in this weekend, so we're in the thick of it right now!
