Have an interest in learning by doing? Want to become more active in the community? Looking for opportunities? Have an interest in animals? The 4-H junior livestock program might be for you. The junior livestock program is a unique opportunity to use live animals to help youth develop. Youth learn something about agriculture and livestock production and develop an appreciation for the livestock industry. However the main objectives are to teach life skills
and help youth become productive citizens. The experience of youth owning and working with animals, being responsible for their care, health and growth and exhibiting them in a competitive environment is a tremendous character building process. If your interest is peaked then consider the 4-H Program.
