It is good to see so many people who love 4-H and FFA. I was in FFA all 4 years of high school and even ran to be a state officer. I was also a 10 year 4-Her where I showed swine 10 years, Dairy beef 10 years, rabbits 3 years, and goats 1 year. I am currently on the 4-H board of directors for my county, the liaison for the Fairgrounds board and co-chair for our county fair auction. I think it is the best youth organization out there. My nieces are city kids so they are the whole reason I have these goats. I buy them, and pay for all the feed and medical expenses and then they put the money they receive from the fair auction into their savings accounts for college. After the first 3 years I start to charge them a little for their market animals because they do have to learn that everything costs money. We are not in it to win, even though it would be nice, I just want them to go out and have fun while learning a great lesson, and responsibility at the same time.
I love 4-H and FFA!! I am an officer of both, and am totally in love. I'm this year's FFA historian, and I judge Crops and horses, and do the parliamentry procedure contest. I shw llamas, sheep, rabbits, my dog, and my horse in 4-H, along with general projects! WHOO!! 
I got offered to last year, but I had to turn down the offer, since I was showing a clydesdale. My good friend does show a steer, but I also have a horse, rabbit, dog, sheep, and a llama, so I really don't have the time. I am on my FFA chapter's Judging teams also. 
:bun
This is my first year showing goats, so I really don't know what I'm doing 
so tips and pointers would be appreciated. I also show chickens outside the FFA, and breed BBS Bantam Plymouth Rocks and Bantam Barnevelders for exhibition. My life is full of shows and fairs here and there; a poultry show tomorrow, the Spring Classic next weekend, and then the 1st fair in June! I love it though, stress and all.
