What do I need to know about raising pigs and cattle for 4-H?
I am new to the whole 4-h thing and my friend and I decided we wanted to raise and show swine and cattle. Were both 17 and seniors in high school and I know the age limit for 4-H is 18… so do we even have enough time?
Second of all, do we have to get the pigs and cows as baby’s? Are there certain breeds that are and aren’t allowed? It would be awesome if there was someone that could just message me and inform me about all of this.
Thanks =]
I’ve been in 4-H for the past 9 years (I’m 17 now) & I’ve raised a pig in 4-H for 6 years.
You normally get piglets around April & the fair on our county is in late July, early August.
When raising an animal for 4-H, help from parents is very limited because you’re supposed to do most of it yourself.
I’ve always had a blast doing it & I find it very easy.
