The market turkeys are scheduled to ship from the hatchery next week. We are expecting them to arrive on Wednesday, May 8 in the afternoon. If the turkeys arrive as scheduled we will hold pick up at Heritage Cooperative at 219 S. Third Street in Marietta from 3 to 5 pm. You might want to call the Extension Office to make sure they have arrived before traveling.
Be prepared for them to arrive early or arrive another day. Unfortunately we have no control over when they might arrive.
If you have additional questions please call the Extension Office at 740-376-7431 or email hartline.24@osu.edu
For youth 14 and older, this will be a unique opportunity to learn about the beef industry. We will have a hands-on day walking youth through the beef production cycle focusing on cow-calf management.
Attention 4-H Club Volunteers – don’t forget to send or email a copy of your club’s revised constitution and bylaws to the Extension Office by May 1. Need a copy for your club?
Part of the 4-H club news reporter’s responsibilities is to share news about your 4-H club meetings and events. After a club meeting write a short article about the big items of Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. Once the article is complete you can ask your advisor to post it on your club Facebook page or share it with families. You can also ask a parent to help you upload it to the the Marietta Times for printing.
The 4-H Merch items are available again! If you missed the first opportunity, you have a another chance. Orders are due May 1.
The Washington County Livestock Committee and County Fairboard will be hosting Red, White and Groom. This will be a Jackpot Heifer and Steer Show.
