Laurens County 4-H Livestock Clinic

August 30, 2021

The Laurens County 4-H Program has slowly been getting back into full swing post pandemic and we couldn’t be more excited. After an extremely busy summer, we rounded it out with the Laurens County 4-H Livestock Clinic. This event offered clinics for project animals such as dog, rabbit, dairy, beef, and small ruminant. The aim for this clinic was to provide the participants with information on subjects such as showing, home care, nutrition, and others. Thanks to our phenomenal volunteers and clinicians, our eleven participants were able to gain valuable knowledge. Some added on to existing knowledge and others creating base knowledge for their new project animal. We had two brave participants exploring a brand-new project area this 4-H year that especially benefited from this event. We would like to thank the people and businesses that made this event possible: Annette Bodie, Alicia Grondski, Holly Jewell, Tina Horn, Mary Walker, Ingles of Laurens, and Save-a-lot of Laurens.

This clinic was in preparation for the Laurens County Youth Livestock Show taking place on October 2^nd and October 8^th-9^th. The breakdown of shows include art, poster, dog, rabbit, dairy, beef, market lamb, and meat goat. These shows will allow 4-H and FFA members to display the skills they have perfected throughout their project and compete against fellow youth.  For more information, please click here.
