Over 300 4-H members and adult leaders participate at the 4th Annual Leon County 4-H Livestock Project Day. This event was held at the Yellow Rose Arena on January 17, 2009. Participants had the opportunity to hear from quality leaders in the livestock industry on feeding, showmanship, and proper care of livestock projects. The day began at 9:00am with a session on Quality Counts, which is a 4-H and FFA Character Education program for members involved in livestock shows. Following this the participants divided into groups according to interest such as Beef, Horse, Swine, Poultry, Sheep, Goats, and Rabbits to discuss in depth specie concerns. At the conclusion of the project clinics everyone enjoyed a noon meal provided by local sponsors. A special Thank you goes to all local sponsors A&A Feed, Centerville Feed, Cattle Country, Davis Feed, McGill Feed and the Yellow Rose Arena.
