The 4-H Beef project is a great step up from other market projects as both the time commitment and animal itself are much larger and may be a bit more difficult to manage. Throughout the course of the Beef project, youth will learn the proper ways of caring for cattle which includes nutritional information such as feed types and serving portions, hygienic information which covers bathing and grooming techniques, general information of everything in-between and everything youth will need to know before and during the fair. During this project youth will learn not only to properly care for cattle, but also develop a love and deep appreciation for the animals they put so much time and effort into throughout the year.
