The Jones Family is all in with 4-H! Twins Makala and Abigayle and brother Ethan have successfully shown market pigs, goats, lambs and steers for what seems like most of their lives. They come by this naturally as their Mother and Grandmother were both 4-H’ers too! Here are a few quotes from our 4-H’ers.
“There is so much to learn (raising animals) and watching them grow is amazing.”
“4-H means … hard work, life lessons and responsibility.” “4-H is basically my way of life… .”
“It is my way of helping out our communities.”

The condition my parents gave me for getting the rabbit was that I had to join 4-H. I eagerly began attending meetings and ever since then I have lived by the motto “To Make the Best Better”. My pet rabbit project turned into breeding rabbit projects along with a cavy project. I remained in the program until I was 19.
