Join us at 6 p.m. on September 11, 2023, at the McDowell Agriculture Barn located at 188 Ag. Services Drive in Marion to learn more about our latest 4-H club opportunity.

Youth ages 5-18, who are interested in becoming involved in a 4-H Youth Livestock program, are invited to attend the upcoming McDowell County 4-H Livestock Club. This meeting will be a chance to learn about the current opportunities 4-H Youth Livestock programs have to offer, as well as allow us to gauge the interest for future opportunities.

The McDowell County 4-H Livestock Club will meet monthly and provide educational programs for youth of all ages. These programs will be focused on the four major livestock species, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs but at times, we will explore other species that are of interest to the group. You do not need to own livestock to be part of this club or benefit from the educational programs. If you are interested in learning about basic animal science, livestock production, showing livestock, knowledge-based livestock competitions, and much more, we encourage you to attend this meeting.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by calling our office at 828-652-8104 or by emailing our Livestock Agent, Skyler Murray at skyler_murray@ncsu.edu.
