This year’s computer skills leader is Tim.  This is his second year as the computer leader.  Last year we had lots of fun learning new things and we hope to have as much fun this year.  Tim is very knowledgeable and will teach us interesting facts that you wouldn't expect to know.  He teaches us stuff about things we need to know for buying software.  We get to work on this website, which we hope you are enjoying.  We have lots of fun working on it and putting it together.  Thank you for visiting our site, we hope it was helpful to you.

Hydesville 4-H has a great group.  We have lots of fun learning new things about golf.  For our first meeting we went to Redwood Empire Golf and Country Club in Fortuna.  We each went to hit a bucket of range balls.  Range balls are a bucket of golf balls that you hit in a place designed to practice on your swing.  We learned how you should dress and act when on a golf course.  We also practiced on how to get your ball out of sand.  We would use our sand wedge for this.  After that we went to the practice putting green.  We practiced putting for a while then had a putting competition.  On another meeting we learned about penalties, rules, and about etiquette on the course.  Our group is so much fun, people from other clubs wants to join our group.  We would like to thank Mike for volunteering to be our golf leader.  He has had fun meetings and we hope that he is the leader again next year.

We've fixed the problem of what to feed your pig, now how do you shelter your pig? You'll want to get some Hog Wire that come in panels of 16ft long and 32-42in tall. You hold that down by an anchor post. You want an enclosed area, so no draft comes in because pigs get pneumonia very easily. The are for one pig has to be at least 15' by 15'(225 sq. ft.)

How do we build up our pigs' muscle? You can elevate both the food and the water, and build steps so the pig has to climb up the steps to eat and drink. Don't let it escape the pen, though. It is suggested that you walk your pig 20 minutes per day.

Here is something you can mull over. "Swine are the most unusual domesticated breed of animals. There is evidence to suggest that they were domesticated seven separate times. As a result, swine go feral faster than any other animal that man cares for."

Rhonda is our dairy goat leader..

The domestic goat or Capra Aegagrus Hircus is a domesticated subspecies of the wild goat found in southwest Asia and eastern Europe. The goat is a part of the bovine family, and is related to the sheep. Domestic goats are one of the oldest species that have been domesticated. For hundreds of years, goats have been used for their meat, milk, skin, and hair all over the world. Female goats are referred to as does or nannies. Intact males are known as bucks and billies, while offspring are called kids. Castrated goats are called wethers.
