Thank you for supporting our Poultry Embryology and Incubation Project for our Wiregrass 4-H students. We began this year’s school project in February and will continue through May 2019 with a dozen schools participating. Our fundraising goal is to purchase a lock-out buzzer system for the Wiregrass 4-H Embryology Bowl competition. The cost is $250. This system will be used for practices as well as the competition. Last year was our pilot year where we completed the project in 11 schools with over 500 students. Student age divisions included 22 Cloverbuds, 374 Juniors & Intermediates, and 129 Seniors. The school project required meeting with classes for 5 continuous weeks of lessons concentrating on the life cycle, candling, hatch and brooding. An optional 6th week focused on dissecting unhatched eggs and comparing them to the embryo development chart provided by Auburn University Poultry Science and Extension Specialists.

Students receive two barrow pigs when they are about 60 days old, and youth must raise them for approximately 120 days. Once the pigs have matured, the youth will show them at the 4-H Pig Squeal Show and Auction. The Limestone County Extension Office will host the 4-H Pig Squeal Show and Auction on May 4, 2024, at the Tennessee Valley Research Station and Extension Center: 9494 Experimental Loop, Madison, AL 35756.

Your sponsorship will assist with prizes and awards for students, materials to build panels for the show, and additional fees that are part of conducting an event on this scale. We are asking for donations to help offset this event’s cost and would appreciate any financial assistance you could give. All donations given will go back to the Limestone County youth!
