4-H
K^^HAPPENINGS
Susquehanna County
The DES 4-H Club recently
held a meeting at the Adam’s
Farm.
Members learned how to
weigh and measure the height of
a calf. Everyone took turns
weighing and measuring an
animal.
Members were then given a
quiz on the parts of the dairy
cow. Leader Pat Hunsinger sent
members a study sheet earlier in
the week. They were given five
minutes to take the quiz.
When the five minutes were
up, the members went over the
parts of a calf. Everyone enjoyed
it. Then we were all handed a
brown envelope, which had our
sign-up sheet for Dairy Camp
and a shot paper explaining
what shots the animals needed
to show at Round Up.
