Talk with the 4-H'er at the end of the year about how well goals were attained, and suggest improvements for next year. Encourage 4-H'ers to keep records on their projects. Have 4-H'ers keep notebooks, growth records, feed records, and production records. These and any other records may be kept in this workbook. Encourage 4-H'ers to bring the workbook to club meetings.
Some ofthe exercises make excellent group projects.
Involve parents in dairy project meetings and activities. Hold meetings when parents can attend. You may want to meet occasionally with parents alone to keep them informed about what 4-H'ers are doing or are expected to do. Parents should always be invited to attend activities and events in which your club participates. Involve 4-H'ers in as many phases of the project as possible.
