We would like to say congratulations and
welcome to the 2011-2012 Schulenburg
FFA Green hands. This past week we have
held Green hand week and participation
was great from all of the incoming
members. We are looking forward to an
exciting year and great things from the new
members. Best of Luck in the Year to
Come.
Texas has the largest number of 4-H and FFA livestock projects in the nation. Young people
participate at the county, district, regional and state level. The tremendous support and dedication
of livestock show officials help make this possible.
With this opportunity comes a responsibility for each exhibitor to learn and demonstrate the
highest standards, both in personal character and in the feeding and care of their animals.
“Quality Counts” is designed to teach young people the importance of displaying good character
in carrying out livestock projects, and in every aspect of their lives. “Quality Counts” helps them
learn the importance of using proper livestock management practices so that food quality and
safety are preserved.
Your participation in “Quality Counts” helps ensure that Texas 4-H and FFA members can
continue to be a part of the greatest youth livestock program in the nation.
A majority of students have completed Quality Counts. If your member has not
completed Quality Counts please take the opportunity to do so. If you need
assistance give us a call or email. We will also have another date in October to
work with the students who have not completed the program.
