You've got Questions. We've got answers. Wednesday, 🐷February 18, 7 pm Normal Building. All Swine Project Members are welcome to attend. Especially if you are a new member to the project. The 4-H Swine project helps you learn about swine breeds, health care, production, management, showmanship, marketing and careers in the swine industry. Learn principles of animal science and gain life skills, like responsibility, by owning, caring for and keeping records on one or more head of livestock. Gain knowledge of sound breeding, feeding and management practices.
Rabbit Project Meeting Date: Wednesday, February 25 Time: 7:00 PM Location: Normal Building, Extension Conference Room Rabbits are a popular 4-H project because of their versatility. They are easier to manage for younger or beginner 4-H members and require less space than other livestock, making them an excellent choice for those with limited facilities. However, don’t mistake “low maintenance” for “no maintenance.” Rabbits still require time, effort, and investment. Before deciding if a rabbit project is right for you, take time to learn about the different types of 4-H rabbit projects, how to select the right breed, and the essentials of rabbit care.
