I just show chickens for the most of it!

When I had a rabbit, yes just one, I showed him also.
Do you guys even have "stars"? I mean, I'm like halfway across the country from you guys. But since it seems like all of you live in Virginia, I looked on the 4H sit for your state: http://www.4-h.ext.vt.edu/index.htm . These are what we go for, here:

Bronze Star: Complete at least 5 of the 8 PDR categories.

Gold Star: Complete at least 7 of the 8 PDR categories.

Silver Star: Complete at least 6 of the 8 PDR categories.

Platinum Star: Complete at least 7 of the 8 PDR categories.
Erin, I don't have any cows right now, but I do like to read about them. I went to this Livestock expo learned some things, and took a cattle quiz, though no one told us if we got anything correct at all. Around here nobody does that !

Cool! Your in 4H? What all do you show?
Becca do WE get silver stars??

Thanks!



Thanks I got her about 2 years ago and we recently sold her first calf. She had a pretty little heifer calf that looked identical to her. She is due to have another calf in 3 months!

What's a silver star? You do cattle competitions like me right?


Awesome!

Cool. We don't get stars in our county. Our 4-h club is well, very small. There isn't much of the agriculture interest in our county, unfortunetly. I did a cattle competition Friday. I'm anxisously awaiting my score. I went to a beef expo this weekend. I got a bunch of showing stuff Spent more than half of my birthday money there :O I saw this really pretty heifer that I now want. She was a tarentaise. I really want a heifer or two of them!




Our poultry club is extremely small.....I'm the only one in it. I'm the only one in our entire county that shows chickens!

Ooo I'm the banker of my family, they always borrow money from me. They borrowed a ton of money since Feb! So they're gonna pay me back soon.

I'm so sorry about that!!! I go to shows with my sister and nowadays another fellow 4H member to poultry shows. He has Golden Pheasants..

I want one so bad, so does my sis, so if he hatches eggs, we're going to ask for some, sometime.

There are only about 2 people in our county that have an extreme interest in poultry! Our judging practices sometimes become a tie to talk about poultry, the other people on our team, well I feel sorry for them because they have to listen to us chicken crazy people

We've tried getting one of the people into poultry.....but nope I have ringnecks! Golden pheasants are pretty, have you seen peach golden pheasants before? Awesome!
