Nebraska 4-H has a new statewide opportunity for 4-H youth participating in livestock projects! The Livestock Achievement Program is designed to promote all educational aspects of 4-H livestock projects including selection, production, leadership and exhibition by recognizing youth striving to improve in their livestock project knowledge and leadership. The program recognizes Members of Excellence across all 4-H livestock project areas, including: beef, sheep, meat goat, swine, dairy cattle, dairy goat, rabbit and poultry. The program consists of two age levels (10–13 and 14–18) that require 4-H members to plan and report a broad range of age-appropriate and project-related accomplishments.
Apply to participate by June 15. Detailed information and forms are at https://4h.unl.edu/livestock-achievement-program. Statewide Members of Excellence will be recognized during the 4-H weekend Parade of Champions at the Nebraska State Fair and will receive a cash award from the Nebraska 4-H Foundation. Lancaster County Members of Excellence will be recognized at the Lancaster County 4-H Achievement Celebration, usually held in February.
