MONTHLY PROJECT

The new year is the perfect time for 4-H youth to embrace healthy living! From nutrition and fitness to mental well-being and environmental wellness. Here is a short list to inspire youth to build lifelong healthy habits in 2025.  

NYS GUERNSEY CALF SCHOLARSHIP

The Calf Scholarship Award Program is sponsored by the New York State Guernsey Breeders Association for the purpose of encouraging those who do not presently own Guernseys to become involved with the Guernsey Breed. A purebred Guernsey Calf will be awarded to the applicant who shows interest in the Guernsey breed and who has demonstrated the capabilities of developing the animal to its fullest potential. Applicant must be age 9-15 as of January 1st of application year. You do not have to belong to 4-H, FFA, or a breed club to participate.


APPLICATION IS DUE FEBRUARY 15, 2025!


Award will be presented to the winner at the New York State Guernsey Breeders’ Annual Meeting in March.
