NORWICH – The annual 4-H Livestock Scholarship Program was established to help promote and encourage Chenango County youth to become involved in raising and marketing meat and fiber producing animals. Over the past 4 years, 20 youth have benefited from this program, receiving 32 project animals, such as beef steers, lambs, kids, and hogs.

Animals have been awarded that are for market and for breeding. Market animals are sold at the annual 4-H Livestock Auction in August while breeding animals are used to increase a member’s herd or flock with an offspring donated back to the program to be given to another deserving 4-Her.

The 2010 winners are:
