This crew of volunteers and amazing men goes above and beyond anything we could expect of them. They jump before being asked how high. They always keep our community and youth at the forefront  of everything they do. Gratitude and thanks given from Modoc County 4-H.  We would also like to thank Modoc Medical, Alturas Sunrise and Afternoon Rotary Clubs, Sage credit union and the Alturas Elks Lodge for their support and help with last night‘s JLS barbecue .

It's all fun and games, but when the show gets rough this crew pulls through! A sincere thanks to the 2026 JLS show board for organizing another wonderful Jr. Livestock show. Special thanks to Whitney Ponti, Cherly Kunert, all of our wonderful 4-H and FFA advisors and the UCCE cooperative extension office. Seniors you will be missed!
