Breeders and Feeders
Congratulations to Haylee Taylor, a member of the Breeders & Feeders 4-H Club. Geauga County 4-H held a county-wide T-shirt design contest where members across the county could submit a design to have featured on the 2024 Jr. Fair shirt. Geauga County 4-H members submitted their votes selecting the favorite design. Haylee’s design received the most votes and will be featured on this year’s Geauga County Junior Fair shirt.
Marko Gibbs was recognized for his 4-H window display promoting 4-H membership. He was presented with an Ohio 4-H Foundation Lego kit by club advisor Karen Techiman.
Members have been busy selecting their pigs, goats and lambs to exhibit at the Geauga County Fair. All the animals were recently tagged and weighed as the project season officially kicks off for many. Some members also breed their livestock and work diligently year-round being producers of fuel, food and fibers.
The club is proud to have a long-standing heritage of agricultural roots in livestock. In addition to livestock, club members also participate in a variety of other projects ranging from cooking, leadership, community involvement and even knots. Ohio 4-H offers over 200 different projects for its members to select.
