My daughter does 4H as well and I too am a new member here.

We actually were the first to bring a lowline angus heifer to our county fair that was just held a couple of weeks ago. My daughter also shows rabbits and did a market lamb this year as well.

Guys, this is my last year as a 4-H'er! So, in to go out with a 'bang', I am a Minnesota 4-H State Ambassador! I am also a County Ambassador, president of my local 4-H club (for 2 years in a row now), and apparently on the local fairboard that I joined without me knowing (fathers XD). 4-H has helped me so much through my life and I will definitely be a volunteer and when I have kids, enroll them.

I continually show rabbits (Havana, Mini Rex, Holland Lop, Champagne d'Argent, Netherland Dwarf, Himalayan), llamas, and Boer goats. I've also shown dairy cattle (Holstein), beef cattle (Simmental cross, Scottish Highland), dairy goat (Nigerian Dwarf), dog (German Shepherd), Poultry (White Leghorn), hogs (Chester White cross, Hampshire cross), and sheep (Dorset, Hampshire).

So I've shown and handled a wide variety of animals (farm that is), and looking forward to my final year!

Hey so I've been in 4-H for a few years now and have just started getting into the livestock part of it. I have no idea how showing animals work. I live in MN and at my county theres never really anyone to easily ask questions to. I currently have nigerian dwarf goats (wethers), and rabbits, ducks, and chickens. I'm really interested in showing goats and maybe the chickens but I'm not sure how the different classes work and what requirements they need to be shown. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated! thanks!!!

Thanks for the quick reply!:D

I'm in Sherburne county and I've never heard of a workshop lol I don't think they have them here or maybe they're just called something else...:idunno
I'll have to look into some surrounding counties and see if they have them.

How would someone go about starting a 4h club? The nearest one to me is 50 miles away and in another county and my kids really want to join.
