Animal Sciences – Dairy Goat
Description
When youth have a passion for animals, the 4-H Dairy Goat Project provides a great opportunity to explore their interest. From judging contests and visual presentations to showing dairy goats, 4-H’ers can participate in aspects of the project with or without animal owning dairy goats.
The project teaches animal husbandry including selecting, feeding, and managing of dairy 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.
