I’m Addie Kilmer and I have been in the 4H for 9 years. Being in 4H has given me confidence in public speaking, has taught me how to track my finances, and most of all, it has helped me create a strong community of friends and mentors. This year in the Livestock Sale I will be selling meat chickens and a hog. I will use the money I earn for my education and future 4H projects. Thank you!

My name is Ryder Fitzpatrick, I am 11 years old, I will be going into 6th grade. I have been raising and showing hogs since the early age of 5. This will be my 3rd as a 4-H member, as well as selling in the livestock sale. Raising livestock can be very hard work and difficult at times, but I take great pride in caring for my animals twice a day. They are checked over for any injuries, illnesses, they have clean shavings, fresh water, and food constantly. Even though they are 4-H projects and will be sold, I raise them as if they were just for me.-Pigs4Kids/lndependent Poultry
