Their animals are dependent on them for feed, water, and comfort Their success in the show ring, particularly in fitting and showing competition, is directly related to the time they have spent caring for their calf or cow. Now, young people do not leant the skills needed overnight, and their development must be guided by parents and volunteer leaders. One of the most satisfying rewards of working with 4-H’ers for over 25 years is watching little boys and girls develop into confi dent, responsible teenagers. My own sons were wide-eyed and a little lost when they showed for the first time at age 9. By the time they were in their mid-teens, they were sure of themselves and winning championships for the type of their animals and their fit ting and showing skills. I remember a 4-H leader taking my oldest son, David, aside after his first showing experience and giving some showing pointers and a pep talk. The next day, he won his class and was reserve junior champion with a junior calf. Inci dentally, that calf became a 3E cow with two Excellent offspring. 4-H can be a strong force in the positive development of youth. And, it is definitely more than showing cattle. 4-H is a year round activity with members par ticipating in a variety of projects. As I write this column, five Chester County 4-H members are judging dairy cattle at Penn State Achievement Days. To preoare for this competition, they had five practices with their volunteer coaches within the county and spent two days in Bradford Coun ty at the Pennsylvania Holstein Junior Judging School. During the year, 4-H’ers learn leadership skills by conducting club meetings. They have to keep detailed records on their project animals for feed consumed, health records, breeding and calving dates, and income and expenses. These are skills needed to oper ate a successful farm or business.

There are Halloween parties, hay rides, swim parties, and fami ly picnics. Yes, 4-H is a family activity which is even more important in an era when family values are being questioned.
