State Leadership Conference

  • Registration is due Feb. 7th.

  • Event dates are Feb. 21-23rd in Riverton Wyoming.

  • Kim Barhaug and Phyllis Ostrum are signed up to attend.

  • Kelsey reported that 37 leaders and 17 youth registration had been received so far and that it is possible if registration does not increase by a significant amount the event might be cancelled.

  • Discussion took place regarding having some of the workshops done in our local area if the state event is cancelled.

  • The Council confirmed that we would help with the cost of early registration as practiced historically. 1 & ½ times the early bird registration is the available amount. These funds are to be given as a reimbursement that must be requested from the council by the register.

  • Heather will put out some public notices to create awareness for this event. Suggested locations for the notice are: Fremont Motor’s electronic sign and the Big Horn Radio network community calendar on line. The website link is www.uwwy.edu/4h

Livestock Scale

  • Kelsey reported that the previous style and type of scales had gotten quit over budget

  • Pat Williams presented some new options for Kelsey to present.

  1. $699.00 plus a hand cart for hauling at $120.00

  2. $785.00 plus a hand cart for hauling at $120.00

  • The major difference in the two scales is size and whether panels were provided or not.

  • Everyone agreed that the scale needed to be able to accommodate all species of market animal projects.

  • If it is decided to purchase a scale without panels it is suggested that people use their own or place the scale inside a livestock trailer when weighing for added security.

  • A deposit will be required when checking the scale out

  • A letter of Liability will also need to be drafted and put into use.

Portfolio/club visits

New Business
Money Makers/fundraisers:

(Suggested use could be to help fund registration expenses for leadership forums)


Get a Goat: Kim explained that this fundraiser involves taking a goat (which she can supply) around your community, business to business. The general idea is to take a baby goat, one that may be inclined to “scream” a bit possible dressed or decked out in a competitors hat or shirt from one business to another. The hope is that the people in the businesses will want you to leave badly enough that they will “fundraise” for you around the office/business to get you to leave. They may even pay you to put their hats/shirts on the goat to take it to a competitor/friend of there’s.

  • The “Get a Goat” fundraiser is scheduled for Friday March 14th. It will start in Powell in the morning and move on to Cody in the afternoon. We will need some “helpers” for Kim as we het closer to the event.

  • All “helpers” will need to coordinate with Kim.

  • It is suggested to advertise this event prior to its happening in the local papers on the radio and/or with fliers warning “To watch for the 4H Goat”

Cowboy Brand Meats: The Southfork Community Clicks conducted a fundraiser by selling meat sticks and sausage produced at The University of Wyoming meat lab. The product was ordered through the extension office. They have some product left; do we want to sell it as a fundraiser for the council? YES. Every member of the council was given (4) items to sell for $8.00 each. The cost was $6.00 so $2.00 will go to the council. Some members took more than the (4) items feeling they could sell more. Thank you to everyone. Every penny helps. SAFETY WARNING: These products must be kept refrigerated.
Club Representatives on Council Board

In the past we have always encouraged clubs to attend council meeting. Looking to increase the likelihood of these visits we have discussed ways to incentivize clubs to attend. Suggestions were as follows:



  • Require a rep from every club be on the board

  • Strongly recommend attendance

  • Allow a different person to represent the club each month

  • Give a positive incentive for attendance such as a drawing giving an award to the club for attendance.

Discussion: With out amending the by-laws requiring a representative from each club be on the board and giving a “consequence” for not attending it was unanimously agreed to move more towards positive reinforcement for attending.

Kelsey suggested putting the names of all the club representatives (sorry council members are not eligible) in attendance in a hat and doing a drawing for $25.00 towards their club. Attends must also include a report/presentation about your club to the council. No limit is set for the number of reps allowed each month and only one report per club in attendance is necessary.


Rhonda moved to allow the $25.00 drawing amongst the representatives in attendance at each meeting.

Heather seconded
