Comments from 2013 BCF Goat/Lamb Judge…Mr. Chad Coburn
“Structural correctness is the founda on to a good market lamb or
goat. Obviously, muscle is also an important criteria in selec ng any
market animal. I like lambs and goats to be expressively muscled
over their rack and loin and progress into a big shapely leg. Animals
should exhibit length of front, length of loin and hind‐saddle, and
levelness of hip. I like animals that have nice shape to their rib, nice
balanced and are propor onal from fore to rear flank. Finally, they
need to be sound on their feet and legs.”
Comments from 2013 BCF Swine Judge…Mr. Edward Schneider
“I like hogs that are well‐balanced with as much depth and width as
possible yet remain rela vely sound. I like hogs that are square on
their feet and legs. Color and breed make no difference as long as
they fit my earlier descrip on. And, I do like middle and some so ‐
ness of center, but they can get too so . I do like to see shapely
muscle; but, not hard muscle.”

D9 Archery Match results… The D9 Archery Match was held February 1-2 in Somerville. Like most all 4-H contests, competition is divided into 3 age divisions.

St. Patrick’s Day Traditions It is held March 17 because the saint Patrick was believed to have died March 17, 461 AD
The first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in Boston, not Ireland
The original color of St. Patrick’s day was blue up until the 19th century Since 1962 the Chicago River has been dyed green to honor the holiday
The four leaf clover has a meaning for every leaf : 1) Hope 2) Faith 3) Love 4) Luck

FOCUSING ON IMPROVEMENT “Prac ce makes perfect” is a phrase poin ng towards an important message…improvement takes effort! Families choosing to par cipate in major stock shows are to be commended for their effort to improve their ability to select, feed and exhibit show animals. Improving one’s ability to feed and show animals is a “hands‐on” ac vity. However, knowledge can be gained by a ending shows and simply watching what’s happening. See what others are doing! Ex‐amine showmanship techniques! Study animals in the ring and listen to comments provided by the judge! All of this can increase knowledge and help prepare for other shows. In school, young students are encouraged to read and accu‐mulate AR Points. In doing so, their individual ability to read improves, allowing them to perform at a higher level in school. Throughout life we face new and different challenges. How we deal with these opportuni es will dictate our eventual success or opportunity to “try again”. Prac cing is one way to help ensure we succeed. The need to prac ce doesn’t end a er high school sports or junior high UIL compe ons. The ability and dedica on to PRACTICE are some of the lessons exhibi ng livestock should develop in 4‐H and FFA members. In reality, what does it ma er if a child learns to properly select, feed and show an animal? What does ma er is that the child learned how to dedicate them‐selves to the idea of improvement, regardless of the event, contest or ac vity. Parents can use “showing livestock” as a tool to teach their children this important lifelong characteris c.
IT’S THE “BIG TIME IN D9”

OTHER CONTESTS
Of course there are many other District
4‐H contests that you can compete in,
both as an individual and as teams. All
of these contests, and their related
projects, provide valuable learning
experiences for youth. However, cur‐
rently in Burleson County there are not
large groups par cipa ng, and o en
there is not a county qualifying event
required. This does not make these
projects any less important or worthy
of par cipa on. Any registered 4‐H
member can par cipate in any project
or contest, all that is needed is a desire
to learn and a li le bit of pa ence and
persistence in learning the require‐
ments. And, certainly a dedicated adult
leader willing to assist is really helpful
too!
Some other contests that are a part of
this big weekend include:
Science, Engineering, and Technology
(S.E.T.) Poster Contest Similar to a
science fair poster with an interview.
Quiz Bowls A contest with a game show
type format, played by 2 teams an‐
swering ques ons related to the topic,
in each area of Horse, Beef, Nutri on.

products, par cipants evaluate 4 choic‐
es and rank them from the best choice
to the least desirable choice.
Leaders 4 Life Includes a display of
parliamentary procedures, a quiz bowl
and a community service report from a
county team
Wildlife Skill‐a‐thon A contest that test
