Scott and Rita Sieck have helped with Lancaster County 4-H for three years, been 4-H leaders in Saline County for five years, and helped with FFA for about 10 years. Scott and Rita helped establish and grow the 4-H/FFA Meat Goat show at the Lancaster County Super Fair. They are superintendents of the 4-H Meat Goat shows at the Lancaster and Saline County Fairs. Scott and Rita have also provided meat goats for the Lancaster County Super Fair 4-H/FFA Livestock Judging and Elite Showmanship contests, as well as Ak-Sar-Ben Livestock Judging Contests.
“We like being 4-H volunteers to witness development of character,” say Scott and Rita. “Youth ‘grow’ as they participant in 4-H. The life lessons taught to 4-H’ers can be useful resources as they grow. Meat goats are our passion — observing the incorporation of something ‘different’ to be accepted as ‘normal.’”
