Geauga Beef and Swine
The Geauga Beef and Swine 4-H Club met at the fairgrounds April 3. To learn about each other, members shared the weirdest thing they’ve eaten. Our safety topics were about smoke alarms and a hands on bio-security presentation. We discussed the important of biosecurity on your own property as well as when you enter other farms. This is very important with members going out to look for their new pig, lamb and goat projects. Members presented projects about pig skin care, writing buyers letters and how to market livestock projects. Members will be getting their turkey and hog projects later this month. The fair theme is “Stitching Together 200 Years of Memories With Junior Fair.” To celebrate the 200th year, the fair will begin Wednesday Aug. 31. The 4-H club is going to participate in the annual 4-H candy bar sale. The club will meet again May 15 at 4 p.m. (Submitted by Kaiden Wolcott, 12, news reporter)
