Okmulgee County 4-H members recently showed their hard work and dedication at both the Okmulgee County Spring Livestock Show and the Muskogee Regional Livestock Show. These events represent months of preparation, commitment and responsibility for our youth exhibitors. While we are extremely proud of every 4-H member who competed, we would like to take this opportunity to recognize those individuals who earned a spot in the premium sale line up at the County level and Regional level.

Livestock projects require early mornings, late evenings, daily feeding and care, record keeping and a strong sense of responsibility. Through these projects, 4-H members develop not only agricultural knowledge but also leadership, communication skills, time management, sportsmanship and perseverance. Making the sale is a significant accomplishment and reflects the hard work these 4-H members have invested throughout the year.
