About 4-H Agriculture & Animals
The South Carolina 4-H Livestock Project, part of the Agriculture & Animals Program Area is an independent-study or club project that engages youth (ages 5-18) interested in learning about: Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle, Horse, Swine, Sheep, Goat, Poultry and Rabbit. These projects offer extraordinary educational opportunities that challenge youth with real-life issues as they learn responsibility through raising, showing and judging livestock. Livestock projects give youth the opportunity to practice and acquire new knowledge in the fields of animal science, business, time management and leadership.
