4-H Animal Projects

4-H Animal Projects are educational activities where youth learn to care for and manage animals like cows, pigs, chickens, or sheep. Participants gain skills in animal health, nutrition, breeding, and responsibility through hands-on experience. These projects promote animal welfare, teach scientific concepts, and encourage personal growth such as discipline, teamwork, and leadership. While many choose to show their animals at fairs, the main goal is fostering learning, respect for agriculture, and developing life skills that benefit future endeavors in farming, veterinary care, or related fields.
