Seven McKean County 4-H members attended the PA 4-H Animal Science Camp at University Park. The members were able to choose the track they were most interested in. We had members in the dairy, livestock, and equine tracks. Members engaged in workshops devoted to animal science and best management practices. Some of the amazing sessions included:

  • Ultra Sounding Calf Lungs
  • Reproductive Lesson from Select Sires
  • Equine Suturing Techniques
  • Shoeing a Horse
  • Mortality Composting
  • Proper Calving Techniques and Management
  • And ALOT of Anatomy!

Along with learning about animal science, the members were able to stay in the dorms on Main Campus and utilize the dining hall. This paired with the professor-led labs allowed members to see what it would be like to attend college. Also, the members were given time to bond through team building led by the State Council and free time to play games like volleyball, kickball, cornhole, and board games. Finally, before heading home, our members hiked up the hill to enjoy some tasty ice cream from the Berkley Creamery!
