Livestock, Small Animals and Horse Projects

4-H Members 8 – 18 years old (age as of December 31st) can participate in livestock, small animal and the horse project. These program areas are a unique opportunity for the 4-Her to use animals in a way to enhance their youth development. While working with the animals is a great experience, we believe this is just a tool to work with our 4-H youth. These projects teach them life skills and help them become more productive citizens of our society.
