Youth
Publications, Resources, and Tips
The focus of the Beef project is
to allow a youth to become familiar with beef animal science.
In addition the youth will gain knowledge of sound breeding,
feeding and management practices. Develop integrity,
sportsmanship, decision making capability, and public speaking
skills through participation in demonstrations, tours, and/or
exhibits.
When a youth producer decides to
raise a beef cattle project he/she takes on a large
responsibility of caring for, feed, and training of the calf.
