Cral DeBrew

The Cleveland County Extension Center is pleased to announce the creation of an endowment to honor the memory of Carl DeBrew, who left a legacy of service to youth and the livestock industry. A lifelong educator, Carl was known for his calm demeanor and practical advice. He influenced many students over the years and helped them to accomplish more than they thought possible.
The endowment will provide financial support to the Cleveland County 4-H Livestock Program, which coordinates the Dairy Steer Project... an intensive hands-on project that helps youth develop important life skills while raising a dairy calf over the course of 10 months.  Since its inception in 2009, the project has placed 143 calves under the care of local youth ages 8 to 18.
The endowment is unrestricted, meaning that it can be expanded to support other 4-H livestock activities, including a heifer chain or backyard poultry project. "Dad would like that", said son Cameron DeBrew at the recent Farm-City Week Breakfast, where the endowment was announced.
