4-H Livestock Program: The 4-H Livestock Program consists of the beef cattle, dairy cattle, goat, sheep, and swine projects. These projects will help 4-Hers learn about the selection, production, management, health, and showing of their respective animals. Special focus is given to the importance of record keeping for long-term success. As a part of their records, 4-Hers must identify goals for their involvement within the project area as well as with their farm management. 4-H members learn self-confidence through various project talks as well as animal shows.

4-H Livestock Project Group: The Wilson County 4-H Livestock Project Group is dedicated to learning about the various species of livestock through 4-H’s various livestock contests. Throughout the year, 4-Hers will be able to showcase their knowledge learned in project group meetings and practices through five individualized contests in addition to Skillathon competitions at regional and state livestock shows. 4-H members DO NOT have to show or own livestock to be a part of this group!
