Logan County 4-H Calf Fundraiser Logan County 4-H is conducting the annual calf raffle again this year. We will be raffling a heifer off again this year; it will weigh around 550-650 pounds. The price for tickets will be $2/each or 3 for $5. Make sure you write your name on the tickets you sell, because the 4-Her that sells the most tickets will receive $50 from Farm Credit Services of Western Arkansas. Leaders may come to the Extension office and pick up tickets for your clubs now. Thank you for your help and your support of this fundraiser.
