Michigan 4-H
News
|
One
way to use a llama is to enrich the lives of others through 4-H.
The Hummers are twenty youth between the ages of 11-17 who come to
the farm and work with the llamas. They adopt one or two llamas as
their 4-H project. They are responsible for training the animal for
fair, weekly farm chores including manure cleanup, helping to put
up hay and other activities related to the care of the animals.
Events include a 4-H llama show in Lansing, the
Ludington Llama Classic, Holiday parades in town (4th of July,
Scottville Harvest Festival, Spirit of the Season, Scottville),
visits to local retirement homes, Llamas at the Library night,
participation in the Western Michigan Fair, a wilderness camping
adventure with the llamas at the Ludington State Park, as well as
some day hikes at the State Park.
Craft projects will include making dry
felted llamas from their llama's fiber, making ponchos, matching
pads, lead ropes and tassles for their llamas, locker hooking with
llama fibre, beaded llama jewelry, papier
mache llamas, llama photography and educational posters.
The Hummers meet every
Saturday, March - December.
We have developed a
comprehensive set of materials to use with 4-H youth. This includes
resource materials, word searches, llama evaluations and project
checklists. Available for $10 per copy.

Michigan 4-H Llama Groups
Llama Clubs have their own 4-H code. It is GBN.
Be sure to use it when you sign up your kids.
Be sure that your Extension Office is up to date and registers
your group under
this new code. It will help track the number
of llama clubs and kids. This impacts many areas of 4-H
including curriculum development.
The 2004 data for MI showed approximately 200
youth
registered
as participating in a youth llama project.
