Livestock & Animal News

• For anyone wishing to send a sale animal to be processed, if you haven’t yet, we encourage you to call your preferred local butcher shop to set-up an appointment NOW as they are filling up fast. A few options to consider could be:
• Elmwood Meat plant
• M K Meats in Unadilla

• Livestock Exhibitors please be sure to sign up and select your livestock projects because we will be sending emails to livestock specific 4-Hers! Link to enroll and select projects: 4HOnline
  

Premier Animal Science Events (PASE) is a two-day event designed to help youth learn about issues related to the animal industry, explore career opportunities that are available, compete with other teens from across the state, and have FUN! More information can be found at https://4h.unl.edu/pase/contests

PASE will be held June 28-29, 2021 at University of Nebraska–Lincoln East Campus. Opportunities for youth include livestock judging, meats judging, and poultry judging, as well as livestock skill-a-thon and livestock quiz bowl. Youth can participate in more than one contest or event as their schedule allows. 4-H members may also participate in the Life Challenge contests that will be taking place on campus at the same time. In addition, youth will have chances to explore East Campus, meet with faculty members and current college students, and have fun with friends!

Lancaster County has been gracious enough to allow us to attend their coaching sessions with their 4-H Volunteer Roger Bell. Livestock judging practices are usually held Sunday afternoons starting at 2:00 PM in the 4-H office at the Lancaster Event Center Fairgrounds and can start soon. If you are interested in participating in PASE or attending a practice, please contact me at lstohlmann2@unl.edu or call our office at 402-267-2205.
