My name is Braelyn McNally and I am a sixth-year member of the Melvern Jr. Highline 4-H Club, where I am serving as club vice president. I was enrolled in the beef, clothing, foods and nutrition and meat goat projects this past year.

In my projects, I had one steer that I purchased in the fall and one meat goat that I purchased in the spring. For clothing, I purchased bright orange pants and paired them with a black v-neck Navajo top I already had in my closet.

I wrote a speech for our District Club Days on beef sustainability in the ag industry and gave it at Club Days, Regional Club Days, and an ag-ed speech contest in Manhattan. Another highlight for me this year was receiving the champion round-robin award for the intermediate division at the Overbrook fair. I also enjoyed getting to be a special helper with our club’s Easter Egg Hunt we always host Easter weekend.

I look forward to another year in the 4-H program, where I can continue to learn within my project areas and have fun with new and old friends.
