4-H Beef Club
About Us
The 4-H Beef Club is dedicated to empowering youth by providing them with opportunities to learn and grow through the responsibility of raising and caring for cattle. We focus on teaching members the fundamentals of animal husbandry, including proper care, nutrition, and health management, while also fostering a deeper understanding of different beef breeds. Through hands-on experience, youth gain valuable skills in showmanship, preparing livestock for exhibitions, and showcasing their cattle in local and regional events. Our club emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and communication, encouraging members to develop confidence, responsibility, and problem-solving skills. We strive to inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders who will contribute positively to their communities and the future of agriculture.
