With the change in weather coming this weekend I would like to remind everyone of responsible management practices. It is likely that animals can experience some discharge from their nose with this sudden change in temperature and even develop some respiratory issues. Being proactive in this situation, I would recommend members blanket any market animals to help keep them warm in the colder temperatures during the evening and early morning hours. I would also like to remind you of the importance of providing dry bedding underneath your shelter where animals can lay to get out of the wind. 

I would also like to invite you to the second workshop for the Sheep/Goat workshop series coming up Monday, May 23, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. in the warm-up arena at the Ranch. We invite you to bring your animals to start with some basic showmanship techniques. We will have additional information that will be covered at the beginning of the workshop so please be prepared for your animals to be tied up for a short duration while we discuss some other material. If your animal is displaying any signs of illness, please avoid bringing them. 

If you have any questions please reach out to me or any of the project key leaders.

Mad Scientist Camp Cloverbud

Katie Daywalker
Extension Agent, 4-H Youth Development & Leadership

There has been a change to our June programming plan. We had planned to host a Larimer County Cloverbud camp in June, but it will not be feasible. We plan to begin offering an annual camp beginning next summer.

Instead, for this June, we invite you to join the Weld County Cloverbud Camp on Saturday, June 4th from 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. 

Weld County has hosted their annual Cloverbud camps for many years and they do an excellent job with them. I have heard glowing feedback from many families about their children’s experiences at their camps. 

The Weld County Cloverbud camp is open to ALL Youth 5–7 years old. It is FREE for 4-H Cloverbud members and there is a $20 fee for non-4-H members. 

REGISTER HERE by May 25th to join!
