Animal Sciences – Meat Goat

Description

When youth have a passion for animals, the 4-H Meat Goat Project provides a great opportunity to explore their interest. From judging contests and visual presentations to showing market goats or commercial meat goat does, 4-H’ers can participate in aspects of the project with or without owning meat goats.

The project teaches animal husbandry including selecting, feeding, managing, and marketing of meat goats. Developing teamwork, responsibility, and decision-making alongside both animals and people is unique to the livestock program experience. Hobbies or careers in animal agriculture enable utilization of these lifelong skills and project mastery.
