Catch-It Meeting - Open to all 4-H'ers

Greetings La Plata County 4-H Community –

On January 25th at 7:00pm at the La Plata County Fairgrounds in the La Plata and Lightner rooms (upstairs in Exhibit Hall) there will be a Catch-it Meeting.  This Catch-it meeting is required for participants of the program, however we wanted to open up this meeting to all 4-H’ers.  We are doing this because this meeting will be a great educational opportunity for all 4-H’ers that have livestock projects or are interested in doing a livestock project in the future.  The class will talk about livestock reproduction and other important animal husbandry issues.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me at the Extension Office (970.382.6460)
