This proud young 4-H exhibitor agreed to pose for me in front of her award-winning cow. I am almost moved and impressed by 4-H, these kids spend little time on Facebook or playing video games, they work hard to train and care for their animals and most of them sleep with their cows and sheep and goats during fair week, which runs through Sunday. I can’t imagine anything that builds more confidence, independence and responsibility. They build powerful friendships, connect with the natural word.
