4-H Livestock Extension Agent, Bailey Schilling

Bailey Schilling has been named the 4-H Livestock Extension Agent.

Bailey comes to us from Colorado State University where he worked as an Instructor in the Department of Animal Science and as the Livestock Judging Coach.

Growing up in the Larimer County 4-H Program, Bailey showed meat goats, lambs, and steers at the county, state, and national levels. He was also a member of the Livestock Judging and Quizbowl Teams and competed in Shooting Sports. Bailey continued his education in junior college at Illinois Central College, and then attended Colorado State University where he achieved a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science, with a certificate in Meat Science and a Master of Science in Animal Science. 

We are excited to have Bailey join our 4-H Team on February 22, 2021.

Shooting Sports Leader Certification in Larimer County

Larimer County’s Shooting Sports program needs certified volunteers! This training will be held in Larimer County on March 12–14, 2021. Please consider registering to attend and volunteer in our Shooting Sports program!

The training usually costs $135, and the Larimer County 4-H Foundation will reimburse a portion of that after serving the Shooting Sports program for one year. The last time trainings were held in 2019, we received a donation to cover the cost to all Junior Leaders (14–18-year-olds).

If you are not currently a 4-H leader, call the Extension office now at 970-498-6000 to start the process to be a leader first. Then you can register for the certification training.

Lon Hagler Archery Practices Discontinued

Due to the implantation of the new Colorado Parks and Wildlife ruling that became effective today (July 1) a fishing or hunting license is now required to visit any State Wildlife Area or State Trust Land leased by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. This includes the Lon Hagler Archery Range. The license requirement is for anyone 18 and older, which in our case would include all parents/guardians and leaders.

We will be discontinuing archery practices at Lon Hagler until further notice.

You can find details about the rule change by Colorado Parks and Wildlife here.
