*Attention 4-H Youth in a Livestock project*

We are encouraging all 4-H youth in a livestock project to create educational posters/items to display in the animal buildings. These educational posters/items can be created with an emphasis on common questions you get asked while exhibiting at the fair.

Examples:

What do you plan on doing with your animal after the fair?

What do you do to get ready for the fair and how does your animal get to the fair?

What are your daily chores at home?

What does your animal eat, how much, and how often?

Call the Extension Office if you need ideas! Have fun!
