• Make Checks payable to CCE-BC after the sale.
• To ensure you pay only for the animal and not its feed, the animal will not be fed or watered for a few hours prior to being weighed.

- Support youth learning and business experience
- Percentage of the proceeds benefit 4-H.

ONLY WANT 1/2 OR 1/4 ANIMAL?:
If you would like to buy only a half or a quarter of a steer, half of a pig, or half of a lamb, call the 4-H Office 584-9967. We will work out the details for you to make this happen if possible, or make arrangements with your friends and family.

ABOUT FREEZERS:
Freezer capacity is rated in cubic feet. Home freezer sizes vary from 3 to 30 cubic feet. To convert cubic feet to pounds of meat that will fit in your freezer, multiply by 30-35. For example, three cubic feet will hold 90-105 pounds of meat.

4-H for All!
Recite with us now the 4-H Pledge: “I pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking. – INDEPENDENCE! I pledge my HEART to greater loyalty – BELONGING! I pledge my HANDS to larger service – GENEROSITY! I pledge my HEALTH to better living –MASTERY! – for my club, my community, my country, and my world.”
Through the 4-H program, youth across the country are able to make friends for life, since the club is like one big family – with approximately 300 members in Broome County alone. 4-H, as a family should, concerns itself with seeing that members learn leadership, citizenship and life skills through a “learning by doing” model.
During Broome County Fair week, 4-H youth welcome kids and adults to be part of the unique and challenging contests they have scheduled. Tuesday’s Lego contest at 7 p.m., will be followed on Wednesday by a 4-H Recycling Contest at 6:30 p.m. Come and wiggle your waist and hike your hips on Thursday at 1 p.m., when the 4-H Hoola Hoop Hoopla Contest will jiggle and twist the afternoon away.
Don’t forget to stop by the animal arena and pavilions to see which animals will walk, trot, hop and waddle home with blue ribbons around their necks. The exhibitions begin Tuesday, July 27 at 7:00 p.m. with the dog show and end Saturday, July 31st at 10 a.m. with the poultry show.
The generous giving of volunteers helps the program remain strong and acts as a stepping-stone to success for many youth. In activities spanning from animal care, gardening, to rocket construction, and working with computers, youth of all ages are invited to join the Broome County 4-Hers and experience the fun of learning through doing.
