Dear 4-H Members and Families,
It is officially the Prairie View A&M 4-H Goat Give-Away season, and the Goat Give-Away committee would like to share an opportunity to expand your youth agricultural program. The 4-H Goat Kid Giveaway Program has promoted dairy goats as a 4-H project since 1987.
Applications are open from April 15th to May 1st. The committee will judge the applications by looking for evidence that the applicant has the resources and knowledge (we can teach you) to properly take care of the goat and show commitment to furthering their overall 4-H involvement. The matrix will also include an “evaluation section” determining previous participation follow-up data. Applicants do not need to have previously raised goats to enter this program—they need a safe, loving home and the desire to learn about goat husbandry. The committee will inform the youth of their acceptance in the give-away by May 5th.
I’ve attached the marketing flyer for the project, (Clink on Link below to see flyer) We would love to have your 4-H, FFA, or youth organization participate this year.
Students will need two letters of recommendation. If the goat is staying at any FFA facility, one letter of recommendation must be attached to the application or emailed to cmpierfax@pvamu.edu. Please ask the teacher to include the student’s name in the subject line.
Click (or use the flyer) for the application link.
Please share this wonderful opportunity!
P.S.: We will offer the Meat Goat Give-Away in August.
Thank you,
CYNTHIA PIERFAX, ED.D.

We are the source on the State level for Tarrant and Dallas County 4-H Clubs to access grant money and need your help to raise funds for our Community’s Youth!
We are attaching the information for the 4-H Foundation shoot that will be March 13 at Defender Outdoors in Benbrook starting at 8 am. AgTrust Credit, Stewart State Farm Ins. Agencies and The Meat Board are also sponsors and we’re looking for both shooters and sponsors.

It’s coming up fast so hoping to get some solid commitments soon. This is for the 4-H youth of our community which is such a great cause!
Please let us know if you want more information or have some folks that we should contact directly.
Again thanks for any help!
