[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1250827, member: 852"] So the 4H extension agent in my hometown county asked me about talking to one of the beef 4H clubs next month... and I'd like some thoughts from those of you who have/had kids in beef 4H or FFA. The kids are 9-12 (pre FFA), parents may or may not be present. Probably ranch/cow-calf backgrounds but minimal previous involvement and 1st or 2nd year in 4H. If it's anything like when I went through 4H, the parents do most of the work at that age. [u][i]If you had a vet come for 30 minutes to spend time with the 4H kids, what topic would you want discussed?[/i][/u] The extension agent suggested treating bloat and nutrition... which I guess I could do... but since nutrition makes up [i]maybe [/i]2% of everything I've learned over the years it's not the most effective use of 30 minutes, to be honest. I'd rather do something health related. Hands-on activities would be good; I can use a classroom (internet/pictures/powerpoint?) or outside (live calf?). I don't want to talk over the kids' heads but would like to give parents something to think about if they're present. We'd be about 60 days from the fair. I found this KSU beef 4H leader's manual: [url=http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/historicpublications/pubs/s100.pdf]http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/historicpublica ... s/s100.pdf[/url] Skip to page 45 of the pdf - it has a list of lesson plans by concept. Anything there catch anyone's eye as something they'd really like their kid to learn? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
