girls and cow

I seriously doubt the young lady was raised in a barn, but the message on her shirt tells you of her love of farm animals.

Near the end of the 19th century there was concern over the fact farmers were not taking advantage of the latest agricultural advances.

Numerous organizations throughout the country began developing programs to encourage rural youth to consider agriculture as a career choice.. 4-H sign

A. B. Graham is credited with the founding of 4-H when he started a boys and girls club in Clark County, OH in 1902 Today there are
- 6.5 million young members
- a staff of 3,500
- 538,000 volunteers and
- 60 million alumni
- 4-H clubs in every state, territory, protectorate, military bases and 80 countries around the world.

Hi Karen,

Great post and I know the 4-H organization is a wonderful group. We have it here in California and it teaches kids about raising animals and keeps them busy so they do not get into gangs or  trouble.

We have an ad running on TV right now about the LA County Fair. A mom and her 2 teen daughters are shopping and a young salesgirl is helping them. She tells them it is a Cashmere Sweater. One girl ask if Cashmere comes from a cow? Yes she answers. Then the other daughter asks if it is a girl cow or boy cow? Boy cow the girl answers. Other girl says "Is that the one who have the tusks?" Yes it is. Then the ad says "Everyone needs to go to the LA County Fair".

It is so funny! Thanks for sharing such a great organization.
