Jack McCracken is a 13 year-old Beef Project Leader in the Johnson County Kansas Livestock Club. When a neighboring farmer advised he had a rejected calf, Jack agreed to take the calf, raise it, and use it to educate younger 4-H members about the beef project. This is the trip home with the rejected calf who later became the Grand Champion Intermediate Showmanship Steer and was a bucket calf for one of the junior 4-Hers Jack mentors. Jack is the youngest project leader in our county.
