Does your youth enjoy livestock, learning new skills, and healthy competition? Livestock judging gives 4-H members the opportunity to evaluate animals based on quality and performance while developing critical thinking, communication, and decision-making skills. Participants learn how to defend their decisions through oral reasons and gain valuable experience in public speaking and leadership.

If your youth is interested in helping establish a 4-H Livestock Judging Team, contact Mallory Randig for more information.

Fall brings hearty meals, tailgates, and holiday prep but food safety should always be on the menu:

- Keep hot foods hot (above 140°F)
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours
-Wash fresh produce, even if you plan to cook it
- Use a food thermometer for meat and poultry

Simple steps like these help prevent foodborne illness and keep your meals safe and delicious. More tips: https://pathtotheplate.tamu.edu and https://fightbac.org/food-safety-basics/the-core-four-practices/
