NEW!!! Dolores County 4-H Livestock Program

The Dolores County 4-H Club received feedback from our 4-H families regarding our Livestock Program in 2020. Due to their feedback as well as increasing participation, we decided to  launch our very own livestock program in 2021. Our program is based entirely in Dolores County and serves to expose our 4-H members to real-world livestock production and marketing situations.

We will have a livestock judging session for 4-H Livestock Members each year. That judging session will be incorporated into the Dolores County Fair in August. Then after the Fair, each member will either direct-market their animal themselves or go to the local sale barn. In the future, we hope to arrange a program with the local sale barn to have a dedicated time slot for our Dolores County members. Our program requires the exhibitors to keep accurate 4-H record books, receipts, and provide ownership papers, etc. They will be judged on the accuracy of their records as well as their quality of care and handling of the animals.
