Stoughton 4-H is focused on beef for the year

In 1950 the Rock Lake 4-H Grain Club came to life and in 1965-66 the Stoughton Crossroads Multiple Club came together. The clubs morphed into one and is the club it is today.

Jeryn Tanner is the general leader of the club and has held this position for seven years. Danielle Gibson is also a leader and Carolyn Chaytors is a volunteer.

They have six kids in the club, one intermediate, three juniors and two cloverbuds. The 4-H motto is “Learn to do by Doing,” and they work hard to keep this motto.

Kids ages six to 21 years may join 4-H and can join as many clubs as they choose.

Meetings are held at the Poplar Tree Inn once a month. Right now, they do not have a set night for meetings.

Recent necropsies have revealed new insights into unexplained sow deaths, helping producers better understand the causes behind these losses. A recent study led by Laura Solis, a graduate student at Iowa State University, examined why these deaths occur, many around farrowing. In some cases, animals were sent to the lab for further analysis, as discussed by Dr. Marcelo Almeida, assistant professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University. The episode also features Dr. Chris Rademacher, clinical professor and swine extension veterinarian as well as associate director of the Iowa Pork Industry Center, who asks questions of what seasonal factors there were and management strategies that can influence herd health outcomes.
